Radio Erewash Sound

Erewash Sound is a local radio service for Erewash. Its broadcaster publishes area news and information beside the live player, giving the station a specific relationship with the towns it serves. Music and presenters form part of the programme, but local context is a major reason to listen.

Paul Stacey presents breakfast, including the Vital Statistics quiz and Retro Chart alongside news, travel and music. Emma Duthie's Happy Half Hour follows, while Lee Everest leads the drive programme. Gordon Slayney, Paul Glenn and other daytime presenters give the working week a sequence of identifiable local voices.

Specialist music programmes include Mark Bennett's Alternative 80s, Kevin Hopcroft's The Goldmine and Brian Noon's The 90s Show. Jeff Martin revisits the seventies, while The Soul & Disco Show adds another musical focus. At the weekend, Ben Proctor presents Erewash Sound Sport, and Steve Walton hosts Gardening Weekly.

The station broadcasts on 103.5 and 96.8 FM, with Ilkeston forming part of its local setting. Its wider activity includes an academy and a business-show podcast, connecting radio production and local enterprise with the on-air service. News, travel information and community stories provide practical local context around the songs. The breadth of the schedule comes from these different strands: a breakfast quiz, daytime music, local sport, gardening and specialist decade shows all have a place. Erewash is the common geographical focus, while the individual presenters give each programme its own character.
