Our Patch

You know your business. We know how Derby listens.

Social posts vanish in seconds with the swipe of a thumb, print ads are gone with the turn of a page. We live here, broadcast here, and talk about the Rams, call each other 'duck', get stuck in traffic at Markeaton island and chat about stories your customers actually care about.

Where you'll be heard: Across Derby and Derbyshire on smart speakers, our free mobile app, and online. We're already on DAB via the Loughborough multiplex covering the M1 corridor, with our launch on the new Derby City DAB multiplex coming in 2027, alongside further potential expansion into South Derbyshire & East Staffordshire also in 2027.
01

Right Where People Shop & Commute

Our listeners know Markeaton Island can be a pain. They know its 50 mph after the big ASDA on the A52 into town. They shop at Derbion, St Peters Street, Kingsway, Wyvern, and Meteor Retail Parks. They're proper Derby locals who love the city and the county.

02

Familiar Voices Build Real Trust

People invite our presenters into their kitchens, and offices every day. When your advert plays between local news and great music, that trust rubs off on you.

03

Familiarity Wins The Job

Most people don't need a plumber, car dealer, or solicitor until the day they do. Hearing your name every week makes sure you're the first business they look up.

04

Change Your Message Fast

Got a weekend sale, seasonal offer, or an urgent role to fill? We can update your on-air advert or live read quickly without waiting weeks for print deadlines.
