Delite Radio

Delite Radio is an independent British music station established in 2017. Its sound is built around soul, R&B and related groove-based music, with programmes and presenter choices giving the repertoire a lively, accessible character. The broadcaster describes a purpose that combines entertainment with support and connection, linking its musical identity to a wider interest in its audience.

Funk, disco and soulful dance music sit comfortably within that sound, allowing older favourites and more recent selections to share the schedule. Presenter-led shows, listener dedications and information about artists add context to the music. The official site also provides programme details, recent selections and opportunities to hear material again.

Ian Williams presents breakfast, with Mick Brown, Mark Dodson and Paul Saxon also appearing in the weekday line-up. Craig Hannington's Northern Soul Selection gives a particular branch of the repertoire its own programme. Weekend choices include Tony Jay's Behind The Groove dedication show, Orphy Robinson's Jazz Joint Duke Box and Delite Roots & Reggae with Ephraim. Melissa's Lovers Delite brings a contrasting late-night strand to the schedule.

Delite's activities include charitable partnerships and support for health-related initiatives, reflecting the personal sense of purpose described in its founding story. Its emphasis is on uplifting music and interaction with listeners rather than a tightly defined town-based news service. The station appeals to people who enjoy soul and rhythmic popular music presented with an interest in the community around the broadcaster.
