OFCOM investigating alleged pirate radio station in Alderney

Tuesday 19 December 2023


OFCOM and law enforcement in Alderney are working together to identify an alleged pirate radio station operating out of Alderney.

Guernsey Police said that their Alderney colleagues have been contacted by OFCOM “about an alleged illegal radio transmitter operating out of Alderney”.

“Officers are now working with the regulator to both inform islanders about this and stop the transmissions taking place.” 

It comes as Riduna Radio publish a statement distancing themselves from the investigation launched by the Office of Communications (OFCOM). 

Riduna Radio Limited would like to make it clear that the letter distributed by Guernsey Police to properties on Alderney today, including Riduna Radio, have absolutely nothing to do with Riduna Radio Limited. 

“Our technical manager, Brian Chambers, contacted OFCOM who have confirmed that this investigation does not involve Riduna Radio at all. They are investigating reports of illegal broadcasts on an FM frequency.”  

Express has reached out to OFCOM for comment on the ongoing investigation.
