Radio Bournemouth One

Bournemouth One is a music and local information service for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, with coverage extending to surrounding towns in east Dorset. Its repertoire centres on songs from the 1980s to the present. An hourly Classic One and New One introduce contrasting selections, giving older favourites and newer releases identifiable places within the music flow.

The format favours short information updates rather than conventional DJ-led shows. The station describes a typical hour as containing around 55 minutes of music, with local information refreshed every 20 minutes. These updates cover events, current traffic and roadworks, weather and forthcoming activities. Business information and surf conditions add subjects associated with everyday life and the coastal setting of its audience.

Listeners can contribute observations about the roads and send voice messages for possible inclusion on air. The Chosen One request feature gives favourite songs a place in the programme, while the noticeboard and events information connect the service with local organisations. Its Job Spot offers another practical point of contact with the area, alongside the broader news reporting.

Roy Martin leads the station, and Shaun Moore is its news editor. Their service brings a town-and-conurbation focus to subjects such as transport, public facilities and community activity. Bournemouth One's combination of substantial music sequences and concise local updates is suited to listeners who want familiar records while keeping in touch with this part of Dorset.
