FEARS have been eased over a radio station Time FM's future after it was revealed to be in negotiations with a buyer.

The future of Time FM looked in doubt after owners Sunrise Radio Group put it up for sale last October.

There had been concerns that the station would close this week if a buyer was not found.

But the station is now in negotiations with a buyer, who could purchase 50 per cent of the business, News Shopper understands.

It has been running for 18 years under various guises and broadcasts from its studios in Basildon Road, Abbey Wood, across Gravesham, Dartford, Bexley and Greenwich.
