Radio Sangam

Radio Sangam is a not-for-profit Asian station rooted in Huddersfield and Kirklees. It launched as a permanent service in May 2016 after earlier temporary broadcasts in the region. Music, Punjabi conversation and religious programmes form part of an output that now reaches listeners through FM, digital radio and an international online audience.

South Asian music and cultural activity are prominent, with the organisation also involved in concerts and events. Its wider Sangam Media Group connects radio with recording, film, Urdu news and television. The station's community features include discussions about older people's lives and wellbeing, adding practical conversation to its entertainment and cultural coverage.

Nasreen presents Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, and Shagufta contributes Punjab Diyan Gallan. Haji Rafi's Friday programme explores naat and topical religious questions, with Haji Shafi also presenting a naat strand. Abdul Rehman's Mumbai Express and Bilal Abbasi's Music Mantra add further musical identities. The wider schedule includes Bhangra and Pakistani music as well as Christian and Islamic programmes, showing how several cultural and religious interests coexist within Sangam's Asian-community remit.

Volunteers support the service, and its studios include facilities for media training. School projects, transitions into secondary education and further study have all formed part of this work. People interested in presenting can develop experience alongside established contributors, giving Radio Sangam a role in local participation as well as a platform for Asian music and culture.
