Tameside Radio

Tameside Radio combines music and local broadcasting within the Not Really Here media group, alongside the Tameside Reporter, Glossop Chronicle and Oldham Reporter. The station's identity centres on Tameside, with news, sport and community coverage sharing space with general entertainment. Its wider publishing connections give local interviews and activities a setting that extends beyond the radio schedule into reporting about the surrounding area.

Mark Andrews presents breakfast, Martin Emery hosts the daytime show and Cameron Kennedy is the drivetime voice. Kennedy also contributes an eighties programme, while James HK appears at weekend breakfast. The line-up moves from these broad music programmes to more particular interests, with Laura Beth hosting The Monday Night Show and Lewis Connell contributing Sportstalk.

Alan Ovington presents The Rock Zone, Peter Fairhead hosts country music and Colin Hanslip selects dance classics. Mike Wallbank's The Show That Time Forgot and Peter Milburn's The Sentimental Journey provide different routes into older music, while Paul Baker's EMovieBox brings another entertainment theme. Rob Charles also revisits records that receive less regular radio exposure. These strands give the schedule a wider range than its daytime mix alone would suggest.

The station's Local Music Spotlight ran from January 2023 to July 2025, featuring original music by performers from Greater Manchester and Derbyshire. Selected artists received daytime plays and studio interviews on Dave Sweetmore's programme, with related newspaper coverage. Its archive includes acts such as Indian Summer and Naomi Kalu. That completed project documents a specific connection with the regional music scene, alongside the station's continuing mix of local broadcasting and specialist shows.
