Kearney FM Expands Digital Reach with Launch of Facebook Group and WhatsApp Channel

Written by Aaron Kearney on 22 May 2025

Kearney FM, one of the UK’s newest and fastest-growing community radio stations, has announced the launch of two exciting digital platforms designed to bring listeners even closer to the heart of the station’s news, updates, and behind-the-scenes activity.

As part of its ongoing commitment to accessibility and community engagement, the station has officially launched a Facebook News Group and a WhatsApp Channel, giving audiences new, convenient ways to stay informed and connected.

New Ways to Stay Connected

The Kearney FM News Group on Facebook will serve as an interactive hub where listeners can receive real-time updates, share feedback, and engage directly with the Kearney FM team and fellow supporters.

Importantly, followers of the WhatsApp Channel can do so with confidence: your phone number will remain completely private and hidden from other followers.

Honouring a Legacy, Building a Future

Kearney FM was founded by Aaron Kearney, who serves as Managing Director of the station. The station was launched in honour of his late mother, Catherine Kearney, whose love for people, storytelling, and community spirit lives on through the work of the station.

“Kearney FM is a tribute to my mum,” said Aaron Kearney. “She believed deeply in giving people a voice and supporting those often unheard. These new channels are another way of fulfilling that mission by making it easier for our listeners to stay connected, informed, and inspired.”

A Step Forward in Community Media

Listeners can expect regular posts featuring local news highlights, show updates, presenter announcements, and community initiatives – all tailored to keep the station’s growing audience informed and engaged.

Kearney FM continues to build on its core values of inclusivity, community, and creativity. The launch of these new platforms marks another important milestone in its mission to create a radio station that truly belongs to its listeners.

Launched in honour of Catherine Kearney, Kearney FM is more than just a radio station—it is a heartfelt community-driven platform that combines great music, real stories, and authentic voices. Under the leadership of Aaron Kearney, the station has quickly earned a reputation for uplifting local content and fostering strong community ties.
