Tribute FM is an English-language radio station targeting a Libyan audience both inside and outside the country. It was launched in May 2011 during the country's civil war. It is opposed to the government of Muammar al-Gaddafi. Tribute FM describes itself as "Libya's first free, independent and urban English radio station". It says it is run by young Libyans who decided that the once banned English language should now have a presence on the airwaves of "the New Free Libya".
