by Sian Cox-Brooker | 11:00 GMT, Mon 03 March 2008

Oxford’s only community radio station is back on air for a month by popular demand.OX4 fm will broadcast 24 hours a day until 28th March after it was granted a restricted service license (RSL) by radio regulator Ofcom. The RSL cost £8,000 but OX4FM's long-term goal is a 5 year community licence.The station, popular with many Oxford University students, is entirely by volunteers from Cowley, Rose Hill and Blackbird Leys. It features shows such as Ultra Culture" (jungle, break-beat, liquid-funk) and “Cowleyfornia dreaming” (dance, house, rave reggae, soul, and funk rock roll ballads). The station focuses on local artists and producers, especially drum and bass, which has a big following in Oxford.OX4 FM is available on 87.9FM or through the website www.ox4fm.net.
