We’re True Island Radio
Locally Owned. Focused on Nantucket.
When 97.7 ACK-FM went on the air in May 2012, it hit all the right notes—great music that went beyond the mainstream, up-to-the-minute Nantucket news and weather, locally produced specialty shows with live interviews, Nantucket Whalers football, and more. 97.7 ACK-FM quickly became a key and unique part of life and lifestyle on Nantucket!
From the start, 97.7 ACK-FM has been focused solely on Nantucket, providing hyper-local information and entertainment to Island residents and visitors while also being a consistent year round companion to truly serve the community located 30 miles out to sea.
