About The Voice North Devon:
The Voice North Devon originally set up in July 2010 due to the closure of The Heart North Devon. Formally known as the Network North Devon, the station started to broadcast online initially. Ofcom granted The Voice its first FM license in November 2010, which was a temporary one; however, it was not made into a permeant license. Moreover, in 2011 Ofcom rejected the application for a commercial license due to it being given to another station (Now Digital). During this period, it aired online on its website and mobile app.
On 20 March 2012, The Voice earned a full-time license to broadcast its channel on DAB. Later in 2012, the station successfully won a full-time five-year community radio license to broadcast on an FM frequency. As of right now, The Voice offers 24/7 coverage on both FM and DAB and also streams online on its website. The station also has its very own mobile app that is both available on the Play Store and the App store and maintains an updated profile on Twitter and Facebook. Its slogan: “North Devon’s truly local radio station.”
