Coordinates: 60°09′20″N 1°08′46″W / 60.155559°N 1.146110°W / 60.155559; -1.146110 SIBC (short for Shetland Islands Broadcasting Company) is a local independent commercial radio station broadcasting in the Shetland Islands. Its coverage area is Shetland, parts of Orkney, and some 75,000 square miles (190,000 km2) of sea-lanes, fishing grounds, and offshore oil fields. The station, which is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Ian Anderson and Inga Walterson, is located at Market Street, Lerwick and broadcasts from Bressay on 96.2 MHz FM (also on 102.2 MHz in Lerwick).
The company, which was registered on 23 September 1985 and has Ofcom licence number AL131-2, began broadcasting on 26 November 1987. It is currently on a 5-year licence. The shorter-term licence was issued when there was a belief by the regulator Ofcom that analogue (FM) broadcasting was coming to an end and it did not want to license current FM stations beyond the changeover date to digital.
Ian Anderson, the station's main owner, was previously a broadcaster for the BBC and Radio Forth, as well as pirate radio stations including Radio Atlantis, Radio Northsea International, and Radio Caroline.

She was a beauty queen with the future in her hand
Full of dreams and a ticket to wonderland
Young and innocent ready for action
Trying anything for some satisfaction
But she fell deeper and deeper without success
Met the wrong guys and got stuck in a mess
So now she works at a sleazy place
In a red light quadrant of space
Astro girl
Why don't you leave this world
I've been watching her for awhile
Those tender eyes and her beautiful smile
The way she serves the drinks and acts polite
And then disappears when the price is right
I can see that there is something wrong
It's very obvious that she doesn't belong
I wish there was something I could to
To help her start something new
Astro girl
