Boom Radio is a national UK radio station with a clear identity: music and presentation for the generation that grew up with great radio. Its sound leans into classic pop, soul, easy-going favourites, 60s classics, 70s memories and hidden gems, with an emphasis on personality rather than faceless jukebox programming.
The station has become known for using experienced broadcasters who understand the pace, warmth and storytelling style of traditional radio. Instead of chasing a narrow modern hit format, Boom Radio gives older records room to breathe, mixing big familiar songs with album tracks, forgotten singles and listener-friendly features that suit daytime listening, evenings and weekends.
Boom Radio also sits at the centre of a wider Boom family of stations, including Boom Light and Boom Rock. The main Boom Radio service is the broadest of the group, carrying a mix of music, conversation, requests and specialist shows, while still keeping a consistent classic-radio feel for UK listeners.

- Andy Marriott: Presents the early weekday show from 6am, described by Boom as the secret show for early risers.
