KCC Live began in 2003 and has grown from its college roots into one of the better-known community radio names in the Liverpool city region. Its public identity has long been tied to young voices, emerging talent and giving local people a route into broadcasting, production and media skills. That community role matters because it gives the station a purpose beyond background music: it is built to involve people, not just talk at them.

On air, KCC Live blends chart-friendly music, specialist dance and underground shows, local features, interviews and community content. That gives it a broader sound than many small stations that stick too closely to one format. The result is a service that can move from lively daytime listening into more personality-driven specialist programming, while still keeping a recognisable local edge rooted in Knowsley, Huyton and the wider Merseyside area.

What makes KCC Live worth listening to is that it sounds connected to the place it serves. It has been associated with youth training, volunteer development and community partnerships, and its public material makes clear that local culture, wellbeing, education and opportunity are part of the station’s DNA. For listeners in Liverpool and Knowsley, that gives KCC Live a different job from a big national station: it is there to reflect local energy, local people and local stories as much as the music itself.

Notable shows & presenters are:

• Claire Simmo: Associated with KCC Live daytime output, including a lunchtime show promoted by the station with her “Triple Club Sandwich” feature.
• Andrea Godin - Fresh’N’Wild: A specialist dance and underground house presenter promoted by KCC Live for the Fresh’N’Wild show, bringing a later-night club-focused sound to the station.
• Matty Orme: Head of Community & Events at KCC Live and an on-air presenter, publicly listed with weekday and Sunday presenting slots, reflecting the station’s community-facing side as well as its broadcast output.
• Dan Etheridge: A presenter publicly associated with KCC Live shows including chart and weekend programming, and one of the names long linked with the station’s more mainstream music output.
• Johnny Bee - House Party: Linked with KCC Live’s weekend dance and party programming, with the House Party branding appearing in public listings and station promotion.
