- Andover – 95.9 FM
Andover Radio is built around the idea that local radio should still sound local. It serves Andover and the surrounding villages with a mix of music, information and community coverage that feels tied to the town rather than copied from a generic network template. That matters, because people listening to a station like this usually want more than a playlist. They want something that reflects where they live.
The station launched in 2018 and has grown into a recognisable local voice in Andover. Alongside its FM service, the wider Love Andover platform gives the station a stronger local identity through town news, events, features and community involvement. That makes the station feel more rooted in everyday life around Andover instead of existing as a standalone stream with no real connection to the area.
Musically, Andover Radio mixes chart music, classic hits and specialist programming, which gives the output some breadth without losing focus. It is not trying to be everything to everyone. It is trying to be a dependable local station with a broad enough sound to keep different listeners engaged across the day.
What really helps Andover Radio stand out is that it has an active schedule with named presenters and a proper line-up of shows. That gives listeners more reasons to come back, whether they want breakfast radio, local drivetime, decade-based nostalgia, dance shows, rock shows or catch-up content from programmes they missed the first time round.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Richard Hobbs at Breakfast: Richard Hobbs fronts the weekday breakfast show from 6am to 9am, waking up Andover with music and the start of the day.
- Weekend Breakfast with Chloe: Chloe hosts weekend breakfast and is promoted by the station as a bright way to start Saturday and Sunday mornings.
- Chris Cloke: Chris Cloke is part of the weekend line-up, bringing great music and an upbeat start to the weekend.
