Station House Media Unit (shmu), established as a charity in 2003, is one of the core cultural organisations in Aberdeen, and is at the forefront of Community Media development in Scotland, supporting residents in the seven regeneration areas of the city in radio and video production, traditional and on-line publications, music production and digital inclusion. The organisation also supports other disadvantaged communities, both geographic and communities of interest, with an employability and training arm and a programme for offenders, both pre and post release.
shmuFM broadcasts a variety of issue-based, music and community radio programming on 99.8FM. Volunteers and partner organisations receive training and support to produce and present their own radio programmes. The station continues to broadcast a varied and useful daily schedule, supporting volunteers to record, edit and broadcast shows, and offering a platform for organisations to share vital information.
