Radio PCRFM

PCRFM is Peterborough's community radio station, with a music-based programme presented by local voices. It began broadcasting in 2017 and combines familiar hits with news and community information from the city. Interviews give local people, organisations and charities opportunities to explain their work, keeping the station's entertainment closely connected with Peterborough life.

Specialist programmes broaden the musical range through styles including soul, dance, rock and country, alongside selections from earlier decades. Dedicated live music shows introduce local performers and let them play for the audience from the studio. The station also takes part in city events, with outside broadcasts bringing festivals and community gatherings into its programme.

Mikey Faulkner presents breakfast, Simon Marshall follows during the day and Marky T contributes drive time. Chris McDaid's 80s Hour, Kristy Read's Tuesday Tune In and DJ Eveready's Bashment Show take different musical routes. PCR Sports is presented by Dipam Joshi, Nilesh Patel and Nigel Cole, while Bob Elliot's Best Disco in Town supplies a weekend dance selection. These named appointments give the wider community programme a mixture of daily company and more specialised listening.

PCR Sports covers local clubs and encourages people to become involved in sporting activity, while the station also carries Peterborough United commentary. Training is part of its wider community role: volunteers can gain experience in presenting, journalism and production, with the separate PCR Extra service providing opportunities for developing contributors. This mix gives PCRFM a substantial civic role alongside its familiar music.
