Radio Branch FM

Branch FM is a Christian community radio station broadcasting from Dewsbury for West Yorkshire. Its programme on 101.8 FM combines worship music, faith-centred conversation and local information. The station is operated as a volunteer-led charity, with its Christian ministry shaping both the entertainment and the ways it invites listeners to participate.

Breakfast and drivetime programmes provide regular company, with encouragement and discussion alongside the music. Other output includes interviews, local marketplace subjects and sport. Community events and information from the Dewsbury area give the faith programme a local setting, connecting religious interests with the concerns and activities of people nearby.

Barney Childs presents the breakfast programme, and Steve Hodgson combines afternoon music with traffic information on the journey home. Martin Cooper's lunchtime strand makes space for interviews and marketplace discussion. The station is based at Dewsbury Revival Centre on West Park Street. It carries no commercial advertising, relying instead on listener and partner support, so its fundraising and ministry updates are closely connected with sustaining the daily service.

A prayer wall and opportunities to contact the studio allow listeners to share requests, dedications and messages. Donations support the work of the volunteers who keep the service running. Branch FM is suited to listeners looking for a clearly Christian outlook, worship and everyday conversation, with a West Yorkshire community connection extending beyond the songs and devotional subjects.
