It is with great sadness that we share this difficult news with our listeners.
After 34 years of serving our community, we have had to make the incredibly difficult decision for Heartland FM to cease broadcasting and close our doors.
This decision comes after a long journey of trying to find a feasible business model for the station, but due to the current financial climate and the increasing challenge of maintaining a sustainable future for the station, we are no longer able to continue operating.
Heartland FM has always been about more than just radio. It has been a community, a platform for local voices, a source of local news and information, and a place where friendships and connections have been built. None of this would have been possible without you—our loyal listeners.
On behalf of the board of trustees - Thank you for being part of our journey.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Heartland FM
