Since February 2006, We were seen as the UK’s first Muslim-Jewish broadcast project, inviting people from both communities to celebrate, debate and share the events, issues and faith that shape their daily lives.
The project launched with technical support from Bristol Community FM (bcfm.org.uk) and was granted start-up funding by the UK Home Office Faith Communities Capacity Building Fund, the Clore Duffield Foundation and the Community Development Foundation.
Our first live on-air broadcast was on 1st February 2007, broadcast online via our Radio Streaming player.
In 2008, Salaam Shalom Media was selected as a media partner for the UK events of the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue and were also chosen as an example of Best Practice by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. In addition to being selected as a project of special significance by the UK Government Office (South West), Salaam Shalom Media was chosen as one of Europe’s top 30 examples of Media Diversity for a 2009 EU study.
As a Community-led Media Project, Salaam Shalom Media rely’s entirely on donations and charitable funding.This funding help supports the work of our part-time management staff and volunteer team.

Podcast Series Available Via iTunes
In mid-2008, we changed the way we did things. Moving from music-based live shows, to fortnightly Jewish-Muslim talk-focused podcasts. This allows people to download shows (using iTunes, for example) and listen on a range of players, from mobile phones to iPods and mp3 players – rather than having to listen live at your computer.
