Derbyshire's own BBC station
BBC Radio Derby went on air in 1971 and has broadcast from Derby ever since. Over more than fifty years it has covered the big stories of the county, from its industrial heritage and the railway works to the Peak District, the countryside and the communities that make Derbyshire distinctive. It is a familiar companion for many listeners and an important source of information during severe weather, especially in the hills where snow can cut off villages.
What you will hear
Breakfast and drive-time programmes bring the latest headlines, travel news for the M1, A38, A50 and local roads, and weather forecasts for both the city and the Peak District. Through the day, phone-ins and interviews cover the issues that matter in Derbyshire, from health and housing to jobs, transport and community life. Sport is central to the station, with coverage of Derby County and Chesterfield, plus Derbyshire cricket and other local sport, and its football phone-ins give fans plenty to talk about. Evenings and weekends bring music, specialist programmes and conversation.
