As of December 2022, the station has a weekly audience of 239,000 listeners according to RAJAR. Background Lincs FM commenced broadcasting from studios at Witham Park in Lincoln on 1 March 1992. It was part of the wider Lincs FM Group of eight radio stations. In March 2019, it was announced that the radio station and its sister stations had been bought by Bauer Media for an undisclosed sum. Programming Most output is produced locally at the station's Lincoln studios. From February 2021, the station began to relay Bauer's networked Sunday afternoon programme The UK Chart Show, replacing the local chart previously broadcast in the slot. Transmitters The main transmitter 102.2 FM signal comes from the Belmont transmitting station. It also has lower-powered frequencies in Grantham, south of the town near the bypass, on 96.7 FM and Trent View Flats (near the John Leggott College) in Scunthorpe on 97.6 FM. Lincs FM can be clearly heard in northern Nottinghamshire and eastern South Yorkshire. The Belmont transmitter relays Digital One and in 2015 a local Lincolnshire multiplex was launched from the site. This operates on the old MXR frequency 12B. The Lincs FM Group broadcasting engineer is Andy Langford. References External links Lincs FM Group History of local radio stations in Lincolnshire OFCOM licence Review of the station at Ciao!
