Hello, we are G Media
We're not your average website design company.
We love radio; we know it inside out, so our products are completely tailored to the radio industry.
Our first and most successful product is our content management platform, Airwave.
Airwave was built for managing radio station websites, and we've never stopped developing it.
Today it empowers radio stations across the world to do everything from post a news story, to send out a newsletter, from managing a mobile app, to updating a gig guide.
We create new revenue streams for our clients too.
Airwave includes tools to manage banner advertising, CPC, takeovers, local business listings, discount vouchers, premium SMS and more.
We love working with our clients and improving our service, based on their feedback.
Together we've built tools to make their life easier, saving time and improving productivity.
We are G Media, and we create revolutionary products for radio.

Where we came from
2004
- We were born.
Radio station websites would never be the same again.
2006
- Hertbeat FM became our first client.
They're amazingly cool for doing that.
Nowadays they're known as 106 JACK fm Hertfordshire.
2007
- Original 106 in the South joined us, and became our first regional station.
After a few changes they're now playing what they want as 106 JACK fm.
2008
- We welcomed our first community station in Cheshire FM.
- 3FM gave us a call and we expanded to the Isle Of Man.
- Our CMS Airwave got a nice new look in this year, and from that it has evolved to how it looks today.
2009
- We hooked up with IRN to be their preferred partner, letting us put national stories on radio websites.
- Apps really took off and we developed our iPhone application for radio stations. It's packed full of content and easy to manage.
- IRN let us add weather content from the Met Office to our sites too.
2010
- The lovely people at CJOC and CJCY called and we spread our wings to Canada for the first time.
- We needed somewhere to put all our computers and stick a sign up on a wall, so we moved into Velocity House in Sheffield.
- The Radio Festival 2010 was our first appearance at a trade fair.
2011
- Planet Rock's new website went live, with lots of clever extras just for them.
- We redesigned our iOS application to look prettier on the iPad.
- RadioVIS was added to our apps, bringing informative visuals across various platforms.
- Android was added to our mobile app suite.
- Before Radioplayer even launched, we were on board developing a console for Juice 107.2 Brighton. It was demonstrated at the launch event in London.
- UTV & Lincs Group joined us wrapping up a big year!
2012
- 2012 is here and we've got big plans.
