Nifty UK Radio

Nifty UK Radio is an Oldham-based music station broadcasting across Greater Manchester. Founded by Alan Nield, Tony Taylor and Simon Walker, it brings familiar songs together with presenters encouraged to contribute their own personalities. The repertoire crosses decades, combining established favourites with selected newer tracks rather than keeping to one period throughout the day.

Presenter conversation is an important part of the programme, with breakfast, afternoon, drive-time and evening shows providing different voices and moods. Weekend programmes continue that emphasis on individual presentation. The station's published playlist search also gives listeners a way to follow music they have heard and reconnect with particular selections.

Jay McCreary presents breakfast, while Big Al's mid-morning conversations include exchanges with Producer Tim. Owen Sherratt takes afternoons and Kevin Lee accompanies the journey home. Gavin Reeves brings an offbeat approach to evenings before Simon Walker's more relaxed selections. The weekend team includes Steve 'Crummers' Crumley, Mike Wallbank, Tim Fernley, Matt Carroll and Scott Woodhead, alongside Ella and Scarlett. This range of voices is part of the station's deliberate emphasis on recognisable personalities and unscripted conversation around the records.

Greater Manchester's businesses, charities, festivals and communities form part of Nifty's local interest. Operated by SELNEC Media, the service combines a broad music programme with a regional perspective grounded in its Oldham home and the people around it.
