The roots of Inspiration FM are as a pirate radio station, that first started in 1994 as a result of collaboration between young men and women of African Caribbean descent who shared a passion for music, dance and communication. The ‘Inspiration Family’ as they have become known, identified the needs of the diverse Northamptonshire communities who were under-represented in media. Programmes on this community radio station are multicultural and tailored to reflect its mainly Punjabi, African and Irish listeners.

Working with organisations including local councils, the Council for Ethnic Minority Communities abroadcastingnd the Black Policeman’s Association means that this project has moved beyond negative images and now creates positive role models for all young people. With over 60 volunteers and 8 committee members, weekends and evenings are spent working with others, especially young people, encouraging them to use their spare time in a positive constructive manner[1]

Inspiration FM's first legal broadcast was from 18 November to 15 December 1996 on a 28-day Restricted Service Licence (RSL) and since then it has been on-air on a total of 15 RSLs. A show for the Greek community was added to the station's line up in 1997, the first and only show of its kind outside London, and the station was included among the limited number of RSL stations who were allowed to broadcast during the Millennium celebrations.[2]

In 2000 Inspiration FM's Mark Dean was approached by BBC Radio Northampton's Editor about presenting a programme to reach all sectors of the community and the show Inspirations was formed. With Marks strong links within the community the Inspirations Show has been going strong covering hard hitting local and international news, and guest stars like Beyoncé.[3]

The Somali community show began in 2003 and a Polish community show was included in 2007 to cater for the large influx of Poles to Northampton after Poland joined the EU in 2004.

In 2004 the organisation was awarded the Queen's golden jubilee award for voluntary service by groups in the community.[4]

On 24 July 2008 Inspiration FM was awarded a 5-year community radio licence by Ofcom[5] and began 24/7 broadcasts when it was officially opened by Northampton Mayor Marianne Taylor on Saturday, 24 July 2010.

DJ Mkhukhwini became a regular guest on BBC Radio 1Xtra after he was spotted presenting the African community show on Inspiration FM since 2011. Jason D Lewis Fri 8-11pm featured on CapitalXtra in the Guest Mix on Robert Bruce's Homegrown 4-7pm show on Saturday 16 March 2019 [6]
