Boomerang Radio

Boomerang Radio is a local music station for Cambridgeshire, covering communities around Cambridge, Peterborough and Huntingdon. Its programme revisits popular music from the 1960s through the early 2000s, combining a broad classic-hits selection with information relevant to listeners in the county. The station began online before extending its service to local DAB broadcasting.

The musical range connects several generations of familiar songs rather than concentrating on one decade. Presenter-led output sits alongside local news, weather and travel, giving the service a practical role in the daily life of its area. Towns and communities within its Cambridgeshire focus include St Ives, Ramsey, Ely and Northstowe, alongside the larger population centres.

Its specialist programmes give that broad hits policy more detail. Nigel brings soul and funk to Friday evenings, while Andy's selections draw on Tamla Motown, Northern Soul and the Philadelphia sound. Pete and Matt share House of Fun on Saturday mornings, and Martin presents Chilly on a Sunday. The online launch took place in October 2025, followed by DAB in February 2026, establishing the present service across its Cambridgeshire communities.

Boomerang's local identity is supported by information about its coverage and the ways residents can take part or contact the station. The service brings an accessible nostalgic soundtrack together with a county-level perspective. It is aimed at listeners who enjoy established hits and also want a broadcaster that recognises the places, journeys and everyday concerns of their own area.
