Salaam Radio

Salaam Radio is a community broadcaster based in Peterborough, with an Islamic ethos and a stated aim of bringing communities together. It serves Muslim listeners from a range of backgrounds while also addressing the wider city. Faith and community identity provide the starting point for a service that seeks to connect people through shared interests and conversation.

Religious programmes include Qur'anic learning, while its community broadcasts have included informal interviews about multicultural life and events during Ramadan. These different forms of speech allow Islamic teaching and public discussion to share a station serving a community with varied cultural backgrounds.

The station's stated community role includes giving organisations such as the NHS, police and local council a platform to explain services and share information. Its remit encompasses people with Pakistani, Indian, Afghan and Arabic-speaking backgrounds, while welcoming non-Muslim contributors too. English forms the main part of its declared language mix, alongside community languages including Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto and Arabic. Meetings, training and collaborative work with local organisations extend that participatory purpose beyond the broadcasts themselves.

Salaam broadcasts on 106.2 FM as well as online, with its public identity centred on Muslim community radio for Peterborough. Its declared aim of uniting communities places that religious focus within a wider local audience. Programmes can therefore connect personal faith with the shared experience of living in the city, giving religious and civic subjects room within the same service.
