Cambridge Radio

Cambridge Radio serves the city and South Cambridgeshire with music, news, interviews and specialist programmes. The community station began broadcasting on 19 July 2010 and developed under the Cambridge 105 name before adopting Cambridge Radio. Its Gwydir Street studios provide a base for a volunteer organisation supported by advertising and member donations. Local life is the thread connecting its daytime output with more specialised evening and weekend listening.

Indie, folk, rock and country are part of the music programming, with attention to Cambridge artists and live performance. Alongside that musical range, feature programmes explore books, film, food, technology and the arts. Cambridge Breakfast supplies local interviews and information, while Cambs Politics focuses on public affairs. The station's programmes are also published as podcasts, extending the life of conversations beyond their first broadcast.

Flavour, presented by Matt Bentman and Alan Alder, looks closely at food and drink produced and enjoyed around Cambridge. Its guests include independent traders, chefs and growers, with reports from cafés, restaurants, markets and farms. Contributors such as Rosie Sykes discuss seasonal ingredients and cooking, while interviews examine the practical challenges facing local hospitality businesses. This is a detailed local food programme rather than a general restaurant chart.

From the Terraces approaches football through the clubs and supporters of the area, including Cambridge United, Cambridge City and Histon. Daniel Baker and Tim Armitage are among its presenters. Gadget Guide brings Rob Chipperfield and Lawrence Micallef's technology discussion, and Cambridge Film Show covers cinema. Together these strands make the station a meeting point for the city's cultural, sporting and everyday interests.
