About Rotherham Radio

Current weather: Loading weather...

Rotherham Radio is a local hit music station serving Rotherham and South Yorkshire with a mix of familiar songs, local news, weather, travel updates and presenter-led shows. The station positions itself around local voices and local information rather than acting like a faceless playlist, which is exactly where its page should be strongest. For listeners in Rotherham, Sheffield and the surrounding South Yorkshire area, the station gives everyday music listening a proper local frame.

The station's schedule is built around recognisable weekday and weekend slots, including breakfast, daytime, drivetime and evening programming. Rotherham Radio also carries local news and sport, which gives it more substance than a simple hit music stream. That local layer matters because it helps the station feel connected to the area: traffic, weather, community stories, events and sport all give people a reason to choose it over another generic national playlist.

Musically, Rotherham Radio leans into accessible hit music and anthem-style programming, with shows such as The Breakfast Show with Stewart Nicholson, Daytimes with Nick Foster, The Big Drive Home with John Clayton, The Guest List with Heather Sheldon and weekend shows from presenters including Lucy Gormanly, Clare Elise, James Bolton and Fiona Sadler. It is not trying to be niche or awkward; its job is simple local radio done with energy, local information and familiar South Yorkshire voices.

  • Stewart Nicholson – The Breakfast Show: Stewart Nicholson presents The Breakfast Show, waking up Rotherham and South Yorkshire with hit music, local features, the Alarm Clock Anthem, Ayup’s, Nan V Food and Back Tracks.
