Radio Bury

Radio Bury is a community station serving the six towns of Bury Metropolitan Borough. Its programmes are made locally, with presenters and volunteers bringing their connections to the area into the broadcast. Music shares the service with conversation and community stories, giving local people and organisations a place in the station's everyday output.

The studios are at Bury Business Centre in Freetown, providing a base for relationships with charities, groups and businesses. Radio Bury is operated as a Community Interest Company, so community benefit is part of its organisational purpose. Opportunities to volunteer extend beyond presenting, allowing people to contribute to the work that makes the programmes possible.

David Dockerty presents Breakfast in Bury, while Ian Cheeseman's Break a Leg explores stage entertainment. Phil and Debi Fellone discuss local enterprise in Made in Bury, and Rory O'Rourke hosts a book club. The Mighty Shakers Podcast brings Bury FC supporters, players and staff into conversation about the club. Sam Morris contributes the fitness programme Physical, with Joanne Wells' Life, Actually and Pastor David's reflective Still adding further spoken strands.

The Made Here. Heard Here. identity expresses its commitment to a recognisably local sound. A mixture of general music programmes and more individual presenter interests gives that local focus different forms across the schedule. The station also makes recent programmes available again, allowing listeners to return to conversations and shows produced by voices from their own borough.
