Cannock Chase Radio FM

Cannock Chase Radio FM is a Staffordshire community station based in Cannock, combining popular music with programmes shaped by individual presenters and local organisations. Its community activity includes work with businesses, public services, educational groups and live-music venues. Support for emerging musicians is part of that local remit, alongside opportunities for different voices from the surrounding area to be heard.

The station's daytime output includes breakfast, mid-morning and afternoon programmes, with The Big Drive Home as a familiar strand. Presenters associated with these parts of the service include Nick Parton, Toni C, Bry with a Y, Geoff Anderson and Mark Smethurst. The music-led format is broadened by specialist shows that give soul, rock, country and dance their own place in the week.

Geoff Anderson's Soul Shack, Gaz Lees' Search For Soul and Sabe Jackson's Soul Lounge explore different selections within soul music. Rock programmes include Toni C's Rock The World, Born To Rock with Bry and Heart Of Rock with Donna B. Holly Fawdrey's Modern Nashville adds country music, while Reggae Revolution takes another direction. These are separate programme strands, making the station's weekly range wider than a single daytime playlist.

Jos Graham contributes big-band music, Tim Cooper presents programmes connected with older popular records, and Full On Fridays brings together Lee Everest, DJ Turf and Frenchie. The mix of retrospective songs, specialist genres and more upbeat weekend programming gives listeners several ways into the service. Its connection to Cannock Chase is maintained through the local team and relationships with the area's organisations, venues and performers.
