Be heard when Derby is listening.
Your customers are already tuning in to Derby's OWN radio station, at home, at work or just going about their day around where we live. Put your business front and centre on the station Derby calls its own.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A joined-up local campaign built around your business.
Every package guarantees regular daytime plays between 6am and 7pm, backed up with overnight plays and free added value such as social media posts across all our channels..
Not sure which tier suits you? Need something bespoke such as plays on particular days of the week? Tell us your budget and requirements. We'll build a package around it, complete with script writing and studio production.
Whatever you do, make sure Derby knows your name.
