About Redroad FM

Local Time: Loading...

Current weather: Loading weather...

Redroad FM is one of those stations that actually sounds rooted in its patch instead of pretending to be local while serving up generic filler. It describes itself as Rotherham's only local FM radio station and says it has been on air full time since 2010, broadcasting on 102.4 FM in South Rotherham as well as online and via smart speakers. The station is run entirely by volunteers, which gives it a more community-driven feel than many small commercial streams trying to fake personality.

Its background matters because Redroad did not just appear overnight. The station traces its development back to early broadcasts in 2007, followed by a full launch in March 2010, and it has since had its licence extended more than once. That kind of longevity is a good sign. Small stations come and go all the time, but Redroad has managed to keep going, keep updating its output and keep a visible presenter line-up, which says a lot about the commitment behind it.

On air, Redroad mixes broad-appeal local radio with specialist evening and weekend programmes. Breakfast, drivetime and daytime shows sit alongside themed music slots covering everything from classic hits to house, indie, soul and local emerging artists. That gives the station range without turning it into a mess. For listeners in Rotherham who want something more personal than a faceless national playlist, Redroad FM offers proper local character and a schedule with actual variety.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Mark Gale – Decades Breakfast: Mark Gale presents Decades Breakfast, airing weekdays from 5am and weekends from 8am, mixing classic hits with features including The Lyric Game, One Second Wonder and The Year Of Fortune.
  • Aaron and Chris – Brand New: Aaron and Chris host Brand New on Saturdays from 10am and Sundays from 5pm, focusing on fresh releases, chart climbers and feature-led music radio.
  • Chris – Redroad Drivetime with Chris: Chris fronts Redroad Drivetime with Chris on Tuesdays from 5pm, leaning into Britpop, indie and rock for the journey home.
  • Big Stu – The Seventies and Eighties Show: Big Stu presents The Seventies and Eighties Show on Mondays from 7pm, playing a mix of familiar hits and deeper catalogue tracks from both decades.
  • Rachel – Feelin’ Alright: Rachel hosts Feelin’ Alright on Saturdays from 5pm, spotlighting upcoming artists and bands from Rotherham, Sheffield and beyond.
