One of the BBC's first local stations
BBC Radio Sheffield went on air in November 1967, just days after BBC Radio Leicester, making it one of the very first BBC local radio stations. Over more than fifty years it has covered the big stories of South Yorkshire, from the steel and coal industries to the region's regeneration, and it has been a trusted source of information during floods and severe weather. It broadcasts from Sheffield and has a proud reputation for strong local journalism.

Football is central to the station's identity: BBC Radio Sheffield covers Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, Barnsley, Doncaster Rovers and Chesterfield, and its football phone-ins are famous for passionate debate.
