Lancaster radio stations

Lancaster radio brings together a historic North Lancashire city, its neighbourhoods and its university communities. These settings provide different reasons to make and listen to programmes, from sharing local information to developing creative interests. Broadcasting with a Lancaster identity can reflect city life while recognising connections with nearby coastal and rural areas. Student media can introduce new presenters and subjects, with training and participation helping people develop ideas for the microphone. Community and regional services may concentrate on residents' interests, entertainment or practical information. Music can be broad or specialised, depending on the people selecting it and the purpose of the programme. The Lancaster category is intended for broadcasters whose audience, editorial focus or established base gives them a substantial relationship with the city. It does not prescribe a single music style or type of ownership. For listeners, that local starting point makes it easier to explore programmes associated with Lancaster before narrowing the choice by format or musical taste.
