6 Towns Radio

6 Towns Radio serves Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and nearby communities from The Production House in Tunstall. Founded in 2010, it is operated by Potteries Media Community Interest Company and supported by volunteers, sponsors, advertising and donations. Local news, sport, events and knowledge of the neighbourhoods sit alongside a broad music selection.

The programme line-up includes Carrie Snow's indie selections, country with G and a rock show from the Talbies. Dan Townley takes an alphabetical approach to music, while Tim Cooper presents Red Thread and Simon Edwards hosts Loose Canon. The variety gives presenters space to follow particular interests rather than keeping every programme within the same narrow musical style.

Adam Gratton presents Community Voices, and the station's connection with the arts extends to membership of the Appetite consortium. Appetite works to encourage people in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme to experience culture, and its team also contributes a programme to the schedule. Local music has a place through Loud and Local and the Honey Box takeover, adding another route for creative activity to reach the audience.

The station's coverage includes theatre at the Regent, Stoke Rep and New Vic, with reviews and conversations about productions. Its local reporting has also highlighted initiatives addressing social isolation and opportunities for residents to participate in performances. Volunteers contribute not only as presenters but through editing, news and sports reporting, events and fundraising. Outside broadcasts and event work take the team beyond the studio, connecting the programmes with community gatherings around the Potteries.
