Standing right here, before the Yellow Bench Cafe, you are standing before Castle FM Radio. This bustling radio station, nestled in the basement of the cafe, is a beacon of community spirit in Edinburgh. It began life in 2007 as Leith FM, dedicated to the area of Leith in Edinburgh. The community radio station, now with a name that pays homage to the grand Edinburgh Castle, has become an integral part of the city’s cultural landscape. Now 98.8 Castle FM boasts a loyal following of listeners who tune in each day to enjoy its unique blend of local music, news, and talk shows. On 23 March 2012, the station got a new name, 98.8 Castle FM, and a new motto: “Edinburgh’s bigger local mix”. But some people say that the station’s true purpose is to keep the spirit of Leith alive in the heart of the city. Maybe you will hear a song live on air while you are standing here, and be a part of the station’s special atmosphere. So, stand here, and listen closely. You might just hear the vibrant heartbeat of Edinburgh echoing from under your feet.
