Radio Voice FM Southampton

Voice FM is a volunteer-run Southampton station with a strong interest in local music and opportunities for young people. Its programme ranges across pop, rock, dance, indie, urban music and soul, combining established releases with emerging South Coast artists. Community organisations, charities and healthcare providers contribute through interviews and features, making the station a place for local conversation as well as music discovery.

The South Coast Music Chart gives listeners a vote in a chart devoted to regional artists. Its selections have included performers such as Toby Creasey, Jazzy Paige, Vanessa Taylor and Eric Walker. A companion music show and invitations for artists to submit recordings make this support an ongoing part of Voice FM's activity, rather than a one-off showcase.

Daytime programmes include Your Green Breakfast, Paul Baker's Brunch and The Mystery Top 40, which asks listeners to identify a chart year. Your Choice On Voice is presented by Dean Huelin. Gemma Paddington hosts Healthy Lifestyle, while Saints Foundation Home Exercise and Lunchbox Quiz with Leann add practical and participatory elements. News at Drive brings together Southampton, national and international stories with current music.

Specialist programmes include Rock After Dark with Simon Wilson and Punk on The Rocks with Paul, Jodie and Daisy, covering harder-edged releases. National bulletins come from Radio News Hub, while volunteers and contributors research local stories. Based at the YMCA Youth and Community Centre in Newtown, the station also provides broadcasting training. That combination of new music, local participation and skills development is central to Voice FM's role in Southampton.
