Description
Energy FM is the Isle of Man's commercial hit-music station, broadcasting since July 2001 and now based at the media hub in Champion House, Douglas. The playlist is current chart pop padded out with throwbacks from the last thirty years, wrapped around Manx news, sport and a settled roster of island presenters including Dave Sherwood, Alex Cann and Lauren Plant. Its best-known work off the island is the wall-to-wall coverage of the TT motorcycle races each summer, when the station effectively becomes the event's radio service. The FM signal spills across the Irish Sea and is regularly received in Lancashire, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| title |
Energy FM
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The station brands itself as two words, 'Energy FM', on its own site and in its Wikipedia entry. 'EnergyFM' is a run-together display error. |
| language code |
en
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
No language code was stored. Energy FM broadcasts entirely in English from Douglas, Isle of Man; confirmed on its own site (https://www.energyfm.net/) and on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_FM_(Isle_of_Man), which states the programming is in English. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| the studio form posts to a CGI mail relay on the hosting provider's own domain | the form is the station's on its own page and the relay is only the host's plumbing, but the provenance belongs on record
source |
| dozens of government surgery and dentist mailboxes on the same site's Infocentre pages | those are public-service listings the station republishes, not station routes

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
