Huddle Radio

Huddle Radio is a Huddersfield service launched in September 2026, combining music and entertainment with a focus on life in the town. Its local DAB presence supports a programme intended to connect listeners with their community. The broadcaster's identity centres on bringing people together through local stories, useful information and an accessible musical soundtrack.

The output covers everyday subjects such as family life and wellbeing alongside news and entertainment. Local events, businesses and charities form part of its interest in Huddersfield, giving the service material drawn from the area it addresses. The programme is accompanied by written features and podcast content, allowing some of those subjects to be explored beyond the live schedule.

Nick Hancock hosts The Morning Huddle, with features including Huddle Hot Spots, What's In The Box? and The Camel Club Classic. Caroline Verdon follows with The Workday Huddle, while Chris Johnson presents Huddle Home Time. Ian Clennan's Huddle Cuddle offers a gentler late-evening selection. Weekend programmes include Sarah Hancock's Saturday show with A Brew with Boothy, Amanda Charlesworth's Saturday Social and Steve Rhodes' Huddle Pub Quiz.

Huddle's newness is part of its current story, but its editorial purpose is clearly local. The station provides a place for Huddersfield voices and activity within a music-led service. It is aimed at people who want a broadcaster connected to their town, with room for community interests, practical conversation and the organisations that contribute to local life.
