Apple FM goes from hospital wards to castle gates

Apple FM will relocate to a new town centre base at Ina’s Cottage in Taunton.

The long-established community radio station is moving from its studios at Musgrove Park Hospital to the late 18th or early 19th century building, which once served as a gatehouse to Taunton Castle.

Broadcasting on 97.3FM, Apple FM has served Taunton and the wider Somerset community for decades. The station began life as Taunton Hospital Radio and has been part of the hospital community for more than 55 years.
