Radio MIX 92.6

MIX 92.6 is a volunteer-run community station for Hertfordshire, operated by Verulam Community Radio from St Albans. It brings music and entertainment together with the voices of people who live and work in the area. Local businesses, charities and voluntary organisations contribute stories, giving the service a broad picture of life across its communities.

Daytime programmes include Mix Breakfast and Mix Drive Home, while specialist editions cover subjects beyond the everyday music selection. The Parents' Show discusses family interests, Mix Arts follows cultural activity, and The History Mix explores the past. Sporting coverage and interviews with local participants add another strand, including attention to football and cricket.

Heather Harrison and Martin Clarke present The History Mix, and Amanda Yorwerth examines environmental subjects in Environment Matters. Andrew Baird's Mix Arts follows local cultural life. The musical specialists include Liana Wall's Friday Night Disco, Mark Slade's Jazz-Funk Soul Show and Jeff Bressler's Make Believe Ballroom, which revisits classic big-band recordings. Jonathan Charles' Vinyl Countdown adds another retrospective strand, giving earlier music its own place beside contemporary local conversation.

The station supports local bands, theatre, artists and authors through airplay, previews and conversation. It also offers opportunities for volunteers to develop broadcasting skills and confidence. Music therefore forms part of a wider community purpose: introducing people's work, sharing their experiences and giving Hertfordshire residents a practical way to contribute to their own local radio service.
