Radio The Cat

The Cat is a volunteer-powered local radio station for Crewe, Nantwich and the surrounding South Cheshire area. Its main service combines music and presented programmes with support for community activity. The team includes people with professional radio experience as well as volunteers who arrived with skills from other fields.

Named programmes include Good Morning Cheshire with Jack Everett and Recollections and Revelations with Kev 'Legs' Walker. Behind The Music with Bohdan is another strand, while Up All Night provides overnight listening. The published music selection has included records by artists such as Then Jerico and Philip Bailey, reflecting a place for familiar pop within the service.

Community groups, charities, societies and other non-profit organisations can receive free on-air promotion prepared by the station's volunteers. This is supported by a community calendar and local events information, helping smaller organisations explain what they do and reach people nearby. Interviews can give those activities more time and context than a brief announcement.

Sport has a dedicated Cat Sport service, with live commentary on Nantwich Town Football Club home games and coverage of South Cheshire Amateur Boxing Club bouts. That separate provision adds to the station's local role without implying every match interrupts the main music programme. The Cat began FM broadcasting on 14 February 2015, and its continuing identity rests on the combination of local voices, community participation and a specific connection to Crewe and Nantwich.
