About Seahaven FM
| Late 2006 |
The idea for Seahaven FM started in 2006 here is the first report in Sussex Express on the 23 November 2006 |
| Late 2007 | Work began in ernest to get the station on the air. |
| Jan 2008 | We took over a small shop in Seaford town centre Seaford Gazette 16th Jan 2008 |
| 22nd Jan | Received provisional approval from Ofcom for our 28 day broadcast in March |
| Jan/Feb | Moved into premises in Seaford town centre, and started work building the studio and offices |
| 2nd March | Started broadcasting on 87.7 from our transmission site in Seaford |
| 9th March | Temporarily lowered transmission mast in an attempt to avert problems with predicted gale force winds |
| 10th March | Seahaven FM was the only broadcaster on air for a few hours when storms temporarily took the main Newhaven mast out of action. The Newhaven mast carries all the other TV and radio stations in the area |
| 12th March | Seaford Gazette Report |
| 15th March | Seahaven FM transmission equipment developed a fault and went off air for several hours. Temporary replacement equipment was installed and normal service was resumed albeit on slightly reduced power |
| 15th March | Returned the mast to its original position from before the storm. While this helped the signal, the temporary transmitter was running at a lower power so coverage on 87.7 FM is not yet back to normal |
| 17th March | 22:45 The original transmitter was repaired and Seahaven FM was restored to its former glory on full power! |
| 24th March | Seaford Gazette report |
| 29th March | Our first broadcast successfully complete we closed down our FM transmitter at midnight. See the transmitter lights switched off at midnight |
| 30th March | our broadcasts continue on the Internet |
| 14th April | Seaford Gazzette reports post broadcast |
