About New Style Radio.com
New Style Radio is a community radio station from Birmingham, serving the city's African-Caribbean community and multicultural Birmingham as a whole. It made history as the first licensed African-Caribbean radio station in Britain, and today it calls itself Birmingham's number one community online radio station. On this page you can listen to New Style Radio live online for free.
A historic community station
New Style Radio was born out of fifteen years of short-term radio broadcasting and training, including many restricted service licences, before it launched as a full community station on 14 August 2002 on 98.7 FM. It was run mainly by unpaid volunteers as part of the African-Caribbean Millennium Centre, a registered charity that supports the educational and social needs of the African-Caribbean community in the West Midlands. Its 98.7 FM transmitter went off air on 1 April 2022, and since then the station has continued online, carrying on its mission to reflect African-Caribbean culture and aspiration.
What you will hear
New Style Radio plays the music of the African-Caribbean community: reggae and lovers rock, soul and R&B, gospel, dancehall, soca and African music, with hits after hits from presenters and DJs who know their audience well. Alongside the music, the station shares community news, interviews, health and education information, and coverage of local events, including events held at the ACMC. It gives local people a platform to speak and be heard, and it has trained many presenters over the years.
