Tindle Radio
Tindle Radio is a media company which owns commercial radio stations and a DAB multiplex business in the Channel Islands and Ireland. It has its head office in Farnham, Surrey, shared with Tindle Newspapers.
Sir Ray Tindle acquired Island FM in Guernsey in February 1998, the first station of what was to become Tindle Radio Group. The business grew to own a dozen stations, mostly located in the South and South East of England.
Between 2007 and 2010 four stations were sold, with the final five of the UK stations - The Beach, Dream 100, North Norfolk Radio, Radio Norwich 99.9 served Norwich and Town 102 - offloaded in 2013 through a management buyout, which resulted in the formation of Anglian Radio, which four years later was sold to Celador Radio.
Tindle's last station launch in England was for Ipswich, but sold interests in new licences in Andover and Southend before they began broadcasting.
After the UK stations separated, Tindle's radio division re-organised as 'Tindle CI Broadcasting', retaining its stations in the Channel Islands and Ireland. It remains part of the larger Tindle Group.
The company launched its first digital station, Soleil Radio, on 1 August 2021. Channel 103 and Island FM also launched DAB+ simulcasts at the same time.
In 2023, the company acquired Bailiwick Broadcasting, operator of the Channel Islands' local commercial DAB multiplex.
Tindle owns and operates three radio stations in the Channel Islands, and one in Ireland.
