Moorlands Radio

Moorlands Radio is a community station based at Stockwell Villas in Leek, with the Staffordshire Moorlands at the centre of its reporting and music programme. Its reach also extends into South Cheshire, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. A full-time FM licence was awarded in February 2008, and the service combines local voices with popular records and specialist evening listening.

The station covers local and national news, business, entertainment and sport, while interpreting wider events for its Moorlands audience. Weather and information about the area accompany the presented programmes. Local musicians are included alongside established pop performers, giving music made nearby a place within the broader selection.

Alice B presents Early Breakfast and Garry Bossons hosts The Breakfast Show. Mark Goulding is a mid-morning voice, followed by programmes including the Moorlands Gold Takeover with Nicki Sansom. Ian Kendrick presents Drivetime. These programmes connect different parts of the day through individual presenters, music and information from the station's Leek base.

Friday listening includes John Green's dance-oriented Friday Feeling and Dave Bowyer's Friday Night Rewind. The wider programme catalogue includes Mark Goulding's Swinging 60's, Solid Gold Sunday and Douglas Barr's Time Machine. Rock and jazz also form part of the station's stated specialist range. This combination allows Moorlands Radio to move between a broad pop service, older recordings and more focused musical selections while keeping news and local contributors rooted in the area it serves.
