Radio Tamworth

Radio Tamworth is a community station made by volunteers for Tamworth and the surrounding area of Staffordshire. It broadcasts from studios in the town and is operated by a not-for-profit community interest company. Music, local information and opportunities for residents to help make programmes are central to its purpose, with a service continuing throughout the day and night.

The main music selection draws largely on hits from the 1980s onwards, including current releases. Specialist programmes also make room for older recordings. Live shows are joined by recorded output and music sequences, giving the station a broader structure than a single continuous presenter-led programme. Its published programme collection includes The Tuesday Teatime Tardis, Thursday Funtime Frenzy with Marcello and The Big Weekend Breakfast Show, alongside shows presented by Paul Armstrong.

News combines national bulletins supplied by Sky News with locally presented material in some bulletins. Community announcements appear within live programmes and the station's diary, while the Saturday afternoon sports output includes local sporting news. Regular What's On bulletins promote events in the area. The station also works with Support Staffordshire, linking its community activity with organisations that support volunteering across the county.

Participation is a practical part of Radio Tamworth's identity. The station offers training and welcomes people aged over fourteen from its community who want to become involved. Residents can contribute to a service whose output is rooted in Tamworth, whether through programme-making or local stories and events. Its town-based studios, volunteer team and community diary give the music programme a specifically local role.
