BBC Radio Northampton

BBC Radio Northampton serves Northamptonshire with local stories, conversation, music and sport. The town of Northampton is an important focus, but the service also follows subjects affecting people elsewhere in the county. Its audio collections give that remit a practical shape, moving between civic decisions, sporting identities and the experiences of listeners.

Need To Know Northampton examines questions with a direct local impact. Published examples consider the Market Square redevelopment, the future of the Isham bypass and the possibility of trams returning to Northampton. Secret Northampton takes a different approach, exploring stories such as the unexplained tales associated with Weedon Depot. These short features let particular places and issues receive attention beyond a headline.

Sport offers several routes into the station. Northamptonshire County Cricket Club commentary is listed alongside Northampton Town material and The Saints Show. The latter has included Alex Waller among its subjects, while The Cobbler's Show Podcast provides a football connection. Rugby, cricket and football therefore each have a recognisable place in the broader local service.

Music and presented conversation fill out the day. Angelle Joseph's evening programme brings community discussions into the schedule, with Jo Good's Late Night Jo and overnight BBC Radio 5 Live among the shared programmes. Your Voice invites listeners' stories, Upload makes room for creative contributions and Make a Difference supplies local help and information. Together, those strands keep the station connected with both public events and individual experiences across Northamptonshire.
