Fix Radio

Fix Radio describes itself as a station for builders and people working in the trades. That audience gives the programme a practical identity beyond its music and presenters. Its work covers apprenticeships, site life, safety, tool theft and challenges facing construction workers. These are subjects rooted in its intended listeners' working lives, rather than occasional stories added to a general entertainment station.

The live programme provides music and conversation for a trades audience. Fix also invites contributions from people on site and publishes interviews and specialist features. A listener need not work in every trade mentioned by the broadcaster to understand the overall focus: the shared setting is construction and hands-on work. That makes the station different from a general UK pop service even when both play familiar songs.

Those subjects illustrate the range of the editorial approach. Tool security concerns affect the way people work, while apprenticeships and training look at entering and developing a trade. Interviews and listeners' experiences add voices to those themes. The balance between music, humour and practical discussion can vary by show, but the connection to builders remains clear across the station's own presentation.

Fix Radio is a national specialist service defined by an audience and profession, not a city edition or a narrowly specified musical genre. For someone looking for radio that recognises construction work as more than a backdrop, the station offers an identifiable choice with its own programme and published material.
