Peterhead community station Buchan Radio has closed with immediate effect.
The station’s website has a message saying the service is gone but never forgotten and a post on Facebook confirms the news.
Station Manager Ronnie Arthur said: “It’s with great sadness I write this message. Buchan Radio is closing down this is happening with immediate effect this is due to the lack of advertising and Sponsorship and due to the cost of everything going up it’s just not possible to continue.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all listeners past and present for listening in over the 9 plus years we have been online and currently on FM also thanks to all DJs past and present for your continued support.
“It’s a sad day but it’s a sign of the times.
“Details regarding our Hogmanay Bash will be announced within the next couple of days.”
Buchan Radio started broadcasting on 2nd February 2019 with a five year community radio licence on 107.9 MHz FM. It won its licence in May 2018.
