Rother Radio

Rother Radio serves Rotherham and the wider South Yorkshire area with familiar music, local interviews and programmes shaped around different parts of the day. Operated by Rotherham Broadcasting CIC, it combines a general entertainment service with opportunities for charities, community groups and local organisations to explain what they do. The station's interviews connect its music-led output with people working and volunteering in the area.

Big Dave presents breakfast, Geoff accompanies the daytime audience and Wayne Cubitt takes listeners through the journey home. Paul Harvey's Quiet Storm provides a gentler musical setting, while evening selections give the seventies, eighties and nineties their own space. Weekend programmes include Sam, Eric and Dave, with Baz exploring old-school music and Wayne turning to house. The changes in musical emphasis give regular listeners different reasons to return.

Out & Proud, presented by Mat Dyson in association with Rotherham Pride, brings LGBTQ+ news, information and music into the schedule. Its community focus complements interviews covering subjects such as Winterhill School's anti-bullying work, construction and digital learning at Rotherham College, and the work of Support Dogs UK. Conversations involving Wentworth Woodhouse also connect the station with a prominent part of Rotherham's cultural life.

The community promotion service accepts information about non-commercial events, charitable activities and opportunities to volunteer. This provides a practical route for smaller organisations to reach people beyond their existing supporters. Alongside the familiar records and presenter company, these notices and conversations make Rother Radio a place to hear about initiatives happening close to home.
