He is in the planning stage but said he had received support and encouragement since news of his project appeared last week in The Western Gazette.
He is now looking for people to volunteer as steering group members, presenters, salespeople, promoters, sound engineers and administration workers to get the station off the ground, and is encouraging them to visit www.sherbornefm.co.uk, email him at info@sherbornefm.co.uk or call 01935 817402.
