Manx Radio is a public undertaking. We exist primarily to provide a public broadcasting service to the Isle of Man. Unusually for such a station, our services are funded jointly through an annual Government subvention and by commercial means.

Manx Radio first broadcast from a caravan in Onchan in 1964 and was the first commercial radio station to be licensed in the British Isles.

The shares of Radio Manx Limited are held by the Isle of Man Treasury. To ensure that Manx Radio operates
as a wholly independent organisation and is clearly editorially independent of Government, the Radio Manx Trust was set up.

The Board of Directors is made up of three executive Directors four non-executives including the Chairman. The Board meets regularly to oversee the running of the Company and has quarterly meetings with the Radio Manx Trust, at which the service provided by Manx Radio is reviewed and discussed.
