== Origins == Dune FM originally broadcast two [[Restricted Service Licence|RSL]] temporary licences in 1993. The first RSL was broadcast from makeshift studios at the rear of the town's Floral Hall complex, with the transmitter on the roof of The Southport Theatre. The second broadcast saw the station move to a new base above the Victoria Health & Leisure club, with the transmitter at Greenbank High School in the Hillside area of the town. The station then broadcast two RSLs as "Magic Dune FM", with a target area of the town and neighbouring [[West Lancashire]] and North [[Metropolitan Borough of Sefton|Sefton]], and a transmitter close to the present site of Aughton near Ormskirk. The Radio Authority eventually advertised a small-scale local licence for the towns of Southport and Ormskirk and the Merseyside borough of Sefton, which attracted three bids, including the winning Dune FM consortium.
