GLOSS FM is a community radio station in the United Kingdom, which started broadcasting to the South Gloucestershire area on 19 April 2010. It is a member of the Community Radio Association. It originally started as Thornbury FM, a smaller station broadcasting to the market town of Thornbury in November 2005. In November 2009, the station relocated its transmitter which increased its coverage area. After an open competition GLOSS FM was chosen as the station's new name in order to be more relevant to all listeners. GLOSS FM is a legal radio station, broadcasting under the terms of Ofcom's Restricted Service Licence regime. This restricted the station to a maximum of two 28-day broadcasts per year in addition to its webcasts which were broadcast continually.
