Radio Exe
Radio Exe (formerly Exeter FM) is an Independent Local Radio station based in Exeter, Devon, England, which broadcasts across Devon and West Dorset.
As of September 2024, the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 51,000, according to RAJAR.
Presenters include Matt Rogers, Neil Walker, Ashley Jeary, Dean Brame, Jamie Taylor, Brad Hardware and Saira Franklin.
Exeter FM launched on 18 February 2008 as part of the London-based Sunrise Radio Group.
In June 2011, the station was taken over by Exe Broadcasting Ltd, a new company owned by local broadcaster Paul Nero. The station relaunched as Radio Exe on Tuesday 10 January 2012 at 7:55 am, when breakfast presenter Ben Clark played Billy Joel’s 'River of Dreams'.
In August 2016, Devon Radio Ltd, owned fully by Celador Radio, sold their 40% share in Radio Exe. This also led to the resignation of Paul Smith, a director of the station who is also the chairman of Celador, resulting in the station becoming 100% locally controlled and owned.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the station launched an emergency fundraising drive to keep the station local due to a lack of advertising revenue and other factors. The fundraiser was successful with £45,919 raised.
Radio Exe broadcasts its primary DAB service on the NOWdigital local digital multiplex serving south and north Devon; added in 2017, the move brought the station's output to listeners across much of the county, including those areas of North Devon which the multiplex had been expanded to cover in 2012.
