October 1992

Dream FM was a 1990s pirate radio station based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, that played a diverse range of dance music and was renowned for its professional style. It first broadcast on 99.9 FM in October 1992 until early 1994 when it moved to 107.8 FM and could be received throughout Yorkshire.[1][2][3][4]

In 1995, Dream launched a campaign to become a legal station. However, despite a petition and public support, Dream would not secure a licence and instead one was awarded to Kiss 105. Dream was last heard around November 1995.

DJs and presenters on the station included Paul Taylor, Shock, Daisy & Havoc, Tantra [5] Countdown, Tony Walker, Chris Martin, Marc Leaf and Mark Dawson.
