SHMU (/ʃmuː/, short for Station House Media Unit) is a community radio station operating in Woodside, Aberdeen.[1]
History[edit]
SHMU was established in 2003 and started broadcasting on the Internet at 9:30 am on 17 March 2005[2][3] and expanded to FM on 20 October 2007.[4]
SHMU was given the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2020.[5]
In 2022 SHMU applied for a licence to operate a DAB ensemble in the North Aberdeen area as part of Ofcom's third round of advertised small-scale DAB licences.[1][6][7] The station was granted the licence in July 2022[8] and started broadcasting on DAB+ in February 2024.[9]
