Radio Vibe 1

Vibe 1 is a local radio service for Stafford, Stone, Eccleshall, Penkridge and nearby communities in Staffordshire. Its music-led output brings presented entertainment together with news and information for that area. Familiar popular records and more recent hits feature in the station's broad selection, supported by a team of named presenters.

Breakfast, daytime and specialist shows give listeners different points of contact with the service. Requests and messages allow the audience to participate, while the station's events and weather information keep a local perspective alongside its general news coverage. Its published track history also lets people return to the details of music they have heard.

Stu Haycock's breakfast programme includes the Flashback, while Ray Crowther's mid-morning show combines music and conversation with a test of local knowledge. Big E brings travel information into the drive-home programme. The station's replay collection also includes Totally Local with Eric Furze, Classic Rock with The Dude and Anthems with Sam Harper. Those named strands give the service both everyday continuity and more focused musical choices, with local subjects appearing alongside the entertainment rather than only in a separate news bulletin.

The broadcaster's relationship with Stafford extends to public occasions and local reporting, with its own material identifying a catchment beyond the town centre. Those neighbouring communities are part of the service's intended audience rather than incidental names in its coverage. Vibe 1 combines an accessible popular music sound with the local presentation and information of a Staffordshire station.
