Hope FM is a community-focused Christian radio station. Its scope covers everything that is of interest in its beautiful south-coast location in England. This includes - but is certainly not restricted to - specifically Christian shows, and is also well-known for featuring live broadcasts from Christian events. All this is backed up by a great and varied secular and Christian music mix, delivered 24/7.
Numerous ways to listen:
ON YOUR FM RADIO:
If you live in the Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole (BCP) area of Dorset, England, you can listen to HOPE FM on 90.1 FM (but this normally requires a suitable aerial because local community radio stations like Hope FM are legally limited to low signal strength to prevent overlapping signal interference from nearby regions). ON YOUR CAR RADIO: You can get good reception of 90.1 Hope FM on car radios within the BCP area (and a little beyond). Even DAB car radios usually pick up local FM stations such as Hope FM. Because it is lower power you will need to manually tune the station in and set it to a preset, after which there should be no troubles - although it might be easier to tune-in in the central BCP area. (After that you can pick-up as far away as Wimborne, Ferndown, Ringwood and Highcliffe). ON YOUR SMART TV: Not many people realise their SMART TV provides the means of listenening to a host of national and local radio stations. Just look for the Radio App, install it, then go to it and search for '90.0 Hope FM'. Set it as a 'favourite' so it is then only a click away! This is a great solution for quality sound if you have a sound bar! VIA STREAMING OVER THE INTERNET: See below! BE AWARE there is more than one "Hope FM" radio station in the world of the internet. To be sure to get the right one, look out for the Hope FM logo on the play-out page. If searching, use the phrase: "90.1 hope fm". Read my Tune-In Notes in case of difficulty.
ON YOUR SMART SPEAKER
Just ask Alexa: "Play 90.1 Hope FM" VIA the HOPE FM App

LISTEN AT 6 pm London time:
New shows every Tuesday... Repeated the following Sunday |
Each week I hope to bring you inspiring thoughts and music, reasons to smile, and maybe a little bit closer to God. I hope you enjoy the process! I am a strong believer that science and religion should be regarded as complementary not mutually exclusive, and from time to time I try to show why.
The show brings you a mellow and relaxing mix of smooth music and worship songs. The first part of the show is built around a great secular playlist including new releases, and is peppered with humour, inspiring quotes, wry comments on the tracks, and interesting topics that may not be in mainstream view. These are often aimed at inspiring you and helping with your faith and self-worth. The second part of the show is called 'The Praise Phase' and is built around Contemporary Christian music (CCM), and a 'faith topic'. If you have a track that is very special to you or someone you know and want to tell us why on air, please contact me and I will try to include this in the show. If you would like your voice on air, send a voice message via an email to [email protected] explaining why the song is special. If you are a regular listener to my radio show it would be great if you signed up to be a 'Friend'. I will then randomly give YOU a shout-out or song dedication on the shows.

If you read 'The Shack' you should read THIS! It explores belief systems in the cloak of a mystery novel but it is much closer to Christian beliefs than The Shack's portrayal of the Trinity. |
