BBC Radio Cambridgeshire

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire serves a county with both a prominent university city and large areas whose daily concerns are quite different from those of Cambridge alone. Fenland communities, market towns and places around Peterborough give the county a range of local perspectives. The station's county name is a useful reminder that a story rooted in one of these places need not be reduced to a story about the city.

Local reporting and discussion can move between decisions made for the wider county and experiences in a particular community. Travel, public services, sport and cultural events all take on a different shape when they are discussed with people who live nearby. BBC Local Radio can also share programmes more widely, so the presence of a Cambridgeshire identity does not promise a completely separate schedule at every hour.

Secret Cambridgeshire and Secret Peterborough explore lesser-known local history, with subjects ranging from aviation and ballet to the story of polar bears at Thorney. Football coverage follows both Cambridge United and Peterborough United through interviews and analysis. Angelle Joseph's evening conversations and Jo Good's late-night programme add personal stories to the wider schedule. Upload offers another kind of participation by inviting creative contributions, while Your Voice gathers experiences and issues from local communities.

The station also participates in Make a Difference, connecting listeners with local help and information. Short historical features and sports interviews remain available alongside longer programmes, so the county's stories can be followed through both a full listening session and a focused contribution on a particular subject.
