Chairman
Stephen Bowditch
Hi I am Chairman of Carlisle Radio FM. One of my first memories is as a young child listening to the radio and being mesmerised by the cleverness of actually how radio works; being fascinated by how it can entertain, inform and educate. I have never lost that feeling. I was delighted therefore when I was first asked to be chair seven years go. Steering it through the ideas stage to being a major development in the City. I have been a Headteacher in the City for twenty one yeas and am now retired. I have been a Carlisle City Councillor for a total of 18 years. I was very proud when I was made the Mayor of Carlisle in 2014/2015. I continue to be involved with various charities through the City. My role as Chairman of CRFM involves working with its excellent, indeed exceptional team. Our local radio continues what I learnt as a young child. The best of radio entertains, informs and educates. I am very proud of it. I hope you will be too.
Managing director
Darrell Thomas
Hi my name is Darrell Thomas, I came to Cumbria in 1993 to assist with the launch of CFM Radio with John Myers. I then ran the station for 7 years before going off around the country to run a further 4 radio stations as well as one in Spain. I also was Deputy Advertising Director for Cumbrian Newspapers and although I have travelled a fair bit, I kept my home here in Carlisle knowing I would return one day. In Early 2023 I was asked to join the team and head up the launch of CRFM which was a no brainer. So here we are, a successful Community Radio station in the heart of the City of Carlisle. CRFM is growing from strength to strength - who knows what the future holds ...
