Energy FM is the most popular pop music radio station on the Isle of Man, situated between England and Ireland with a population of 85,000 people. Energy FM provides music and local news for a family audience 24 hours a day.

The station's format combines the latest chart hits alongside classics from the past, with regular news bulletins inserted into each time slot highlighting local, as well as national and international news thanks to its agreement with Sky News.

Energy FM also provides live coverage of various sporting events, especially its famous motorbike race, and also assists charities where possible with broadcasts and helps companies with product launches. The station has full coverage of the island thanks to the 7 FM transmitters in its broadcast network, and it is also possible to receive its signal online from its website.
