Radio Listen Lanarkshire

Listen Lanarkshire is a community radio service based in Shotts for listeners in North Lanarkshire. It forms part of Getting Better Together, a charitable community health initiative whose wider work includes wellbeing and education. Radio gives that local project a setting for shared information, music and contributions from residents.

The station invites requests and submissions, making participation part of its relationship with listeners. Its Youth Radio activity offers opportunities for younger people to develop an interest in broadcasting and contribute their own material. Podcasts provide another route into locally made audio, alongside the programme heard on the live service.

The move from Shotts Healthy Living Centre to Springhill Community Hub accompanied its FM launch on 24 October 2023. The timetable includes programmes associated with Buchanan High School, Dykehead Primary School and Willowbank School, alongside Youth Radio. Eleni's Folk Show, Kiss that Prog and a Rock Show give specialist music a place, while Bad Ending Party explores anime. James Martin presents Just Winging It, and Catherine and Callum combine music, sport and entertainment. Original musicians can also submit recordings for consideration.

Its programme addresses different ages and interests while keeping Shotts and the surrounding area as a common point of reference. The service gives local voices a practical platform and places radio within a wider effort to support learning and community wellbeing.
