Rossendale Radio

Rossendale Radio is a community service for the Rossendale Valley and surrounding Lancashire communities. Its local programme combines familiar music with conversation, information and specialist shows. The project secured its community licence in December 2017 after a bid developed from autumn 2016, and its work was recognised in the Community Enterprise category of the 2024 Rossendale Business Awards.

Valley Breakfast, Valley Today and Valley Drive provide the main local programme strands. Valley Today is a magazine show, with Neil Wharmby among its presenters, while Emily Millar is one of the voices of Valley Drive. A separate Well Being Show adds practical advice. Community information and the station's local hub connect the music service with organisations and activities around the valley.

Dave Metcalfe presents dedicated hours of music from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, letting listeners revisit different periods of pop. Gerald Jackson's Unforgettable Favourites looks further into radio nostalgia, while Alan Gee's 60's Show and Nick Jackson's We Love the 1970's add their own approaches to older records. These programmes complement the general hits rather than making the entire station a single-decade service.

Specialist music includes Paul Yates' Folk and Blues, Andy Turner's Rossendale Rocks and Ian Green's rock-and-roll selection. Graeme Park's Long Live House brings club music into the mix, and Tyler Cockerill presents Strings and Bangy Things. Weekend conversation and entertainment come through programmes such as Saturday Brunch with the Heatons and Sunday Brunch with David Reader.
