About Radio Bury

Radio Bury is radio made in Bury, for Bury.

We're a community radio station bringing together local voices, great music and the stories that matter to people across Bury.

From our studios in the heart of the town, our presenters and volunteers create programmes with a genuine connection to the area we serve, whether that's local people and organisations, what's happening around Bury, specialist music, conversation or simply good company.

Made Here. Heard Here.

Local radio that sounds local

Made Here. Heard Here. is more than a strapline. It describes what we want Radio Bury to be: something created locally, shaped by the community and recognisably Bury. Our programmes are made by people with their own connections to the area, with space for local stories, local organisations and voices that might not otherwise be heard.

Who we are

Radio for Bury

A Community Station

Radio Bury is operated by Radio Bury Community Interest Company. As a Community Interest Company, the station exists to provide benefit to the community it serves. Volunteers are an important part of Radio Bury, both on air and behind the scenes.

Based in Bury

Our studios are based at Bury Business Centre on Kay Street in Freetown, putting us right in the community we serve and helping us build relationships with local people, groups, charities, businesses and organisations.

Made Locally

The station sounds local because it is local, broadcasting live from Freetown with programmes created by people who know and care about the area.

Our story

Radio Bury didn't simply appear overnight
