A radio station has launched a GoFundMe amid fears that it could be taken off the air permanently.
Celtic Music Radio, which is based in Renfrew, has been going for the last two decades and is using equipment that is 40 years old.

The radio station, which is also a volunteer-led charity, says that it is experiencing failures on a daily basis due to how old the equipment is. As a result, the station is looking to raise £10,000 to replace its unserviceable analogue desks with two modern digital studios and to invest in portable Outside Broadcast equipment.
The station said this will allow it to broadcast live from festivals, community sessions, and cultural events.
The GoFundMe added: "This isn’t an upgrade for comfort—it’s a race against complete equipment failure that could take us off air permanently."
