Template:Infobox Radio station
Orchard FM is an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting from Somerset, England. It used to be owned by Orchard Media Ltd, who were taken over by GWR Group in 1999, and who subsequently became GCap Media in 2005. The station is based at Haygrove House, Shoreditch near Taunton, next door to the M5.
The main signal is on 102.6FM from the Mendip TV Mast. Other frequencies are 97.1FM from Chedington (near Crewkerne) and a weaker 96.5FM signal from the studios at Shoreditch in Taunton.
In November 2005 it was announced that GCap's local radio stations in the South West, including Orchard FM, are to be sold. This is due to the fact that they are outside of the company's primary target area [1].
