Radio Newark

Radio Newark combines popular music with news, events and specialist programmes rooted in Newark and the surrounding area. Its daytime line-up includes Matt Colbourne at breakfast, Phil Johnson in mid-mornings, Jamie Curt on Drivetime and Pete Farrington in the evening. A separate 80s v 90s strand puts two decades of familiar records alongside the main presented programmes.

Local coverage extends from transport and town-centre developments to culture and fundraising. Recent subjects have included road improvements, a new ballet programme, community involvement in a Town Hall light show and money raised for Beaumond House Hospice Care. An events diary gives space to charity activities and creative workshops, keeping the station connected with organisations working in and around Newark.

Music from the area receives dedicated attention in Newark Amplified with Jack Brett. The specialist line-up also includes Dean Anderson's The Sound of Soul, Ady Crampton's 1970s soul, funk and disco selections, and Doug Hall's combination of 1960s, 1970s and Motown records. Stuart Preston presents Tuesday Bluesday, Tim Rogers hosts The Country Show and Andy Bush contributes a rock programme. Annie Turner's The Outer Limits adds another individual voice to the schedule.

The station's Grassroots Plus podcast, hosted by Mick and Dave, examines football beyond the major professional clubs. Conversations with club representatives discuss issues such as junior teams, travel demands and the work involved in keeping rural football going. Saturday Review with Phil and Victoria is another named programme. This is Radio Newark's main service; Radio Newark Mix is a separate companion channel and has its own musical presentation.
