Local radio for two counties
BBC Hereford & Worcester went on air in 1989, giving the area its own BBC local station. It serves a part of England known for rolling hills, rivers, orchards and market towns, as well as busy commuter towns close to Birmingham. With studios in Worcester and Hereford, it keeps both counties connected, and it is a vital source of information when the Severn and Wye rivers flood or when snow affects rural roads.

Sport coverage includes Worcester Warriors and Worcestershire cricket at New Road, Hereford FC, Kidderminster Harriers and other local teams, and the station celebrates local events such as the Three Choirs Festival and county shows.
