107 Meridian FM is a community radio station serving East Grinstead and the surrounding area.

The station is run by around forty or so volunteers and made its first 28 day restricted service licence broadcast in December 2006, followed by a couple more in May and December 2007.

Limited to two restricted service licence broadcasts each year, Meridian FM have since applied and were subsequently awarded a full-time community radio license by Ofcom in July 2009 .

The station then continued to stream over the internet via their website, whist raising funds for the additional equipment needed for broadcast.

On February 15, 2010, Ofcom came to inspect the studios and transmission equipment. Having passed their inspection, the station were allowed to embark on test transmissions. With the tests completed, 107 Meridian FM started officially broadcasting over 107Mhz FM on March 1, 2010 at 7am GMT.

The studios were originally located in East Court Mansion together with the East Grinstead Council offices, although they have now relocated to the Jubilee Community Centre on Charlwoods Road.

The station took its name from the Grenwich Prime Meridian as East Court is located on the zero degree line.
