About Valley FM

Valley FM is now available 24/7 on-line and on 94.5FM with our 102.3FM frequency serving the Orba and Orbeta area.

Valley FM is a new kind of local radio service. Based on a massive music database, put together with over 30 years experience, music is the backbone of what has become an important resource for the folk who live here in the Marina Alta area of the northern Costa Blanca.

We are a community station, aimed at the English-speaking residents of this part of Spain – but not just the English ex pats. We aim to be multi-lingual but our core is in English. There are a few known people appearing regularly on Valley FM but there is room for you. We have the equipment and expertise and if you have an idea, then let us work together to get that idea on the air.

Maybe you have an idea for a show you would like to hear or create. We hope you enjoy what we do and would like to be involved with real community radio for the Orba and Jalon valleys.

We are a commercial radio station because we need to cover our operating costs but not to make a profit for shareholders and so advertising is very affordable for local businesses.

Our coverage area in the Orba valley is from the villages in Val de Laguar, Orba, Tormos, Benedoleig, Sagra, Rafol, Sanet y Negrals, Beniarbeig, Ondara and El Verger and in the Jalon valley from Benigembla, Murla, Parcent, Alcalali, Jalon and Lliber. It is likely that coverage will be available outside this area too but even if you can’t listen on your radio you can always listen to our live broadcast via the internet anywhere in the world.

Should you want any more information about the station or to place an advertisement please use our contact form.

    The Spanish authorities have asked us to advise UK nationals in Alicante province that they can get next day residency appointments in Alicante city by selecting the option POLICIA – CERTIFICADO UE (EXCLUSIVAMENTE PARA REINO UNIDO). 180 appointments are being opened up on a daily basis and there is quite a lot of availability each day. Anyone who used to go to the main police stations in Orihuela, Torrevieja, Denia and Benidorm can now take advantage of this new resource in Alicante city.
    Please do encourage anyone who hasn´t yet applied for residency to do so and take advantage of the additional appointments. As appointments are opened up each day, if there are none left when you check, there will be more the following day. These can also be used to apply for "caracter permanente" if they have been resident for more than 5 years.
