Ofcom has given the go-ahead to five more community radio stations.
SFM (Sittingbourne, Kent), Gateway FM (Basildon, Essex), Insanity (Egham, Surrey), Kane FM (Guildford, Surrey) and The Vibe (Watford). SFM and Gateway FM are aimed at the entire community with The Vibe "being aimed at young people of Watford." Kane FM will be a mainly urban music station aimed at 15 to 39 year-olds and Insanity will be a student radio station. Meanwhile, Ofcom rejected six other applications - from Panjabi Awaz (Slough), Radio Wey (Chertsey, Surrey), Woking Community Radio, Sut FM (Sutton, Surrey), Radio One Sound (Southall, Middlesex) and Radio Voz de Portugal (Vauxhall, London). Two further applications were also been rejected due to there not being available FM frequencies. Those two stations were Radio Reality (Hendon, London) and Focus Radio (Enfield, Middlesex).
