Doncaster Radio is the current name for the station that started life as TX1 Radio, created to give Doncaster and Bassetlaw a dedicated local radio voice after Trax FM disappeared into wider network radio. That background matters, because the station’s pitch is not complicated: local broadcasters, local information, familiar music and a service aimed at people who actually live around Doncaster and Bassetlaw.

The station’s sound is built around local hit music, with a mix of songs from the 80s to now, presenter-led daytime shows, travel updates, local news, local sport, community information and non-stop music blocks. It is the sort of station that works best when it keeps its focus narrow: Doncaster, Bassetlaw, local roads, local events, local voices and enough familiar music to stay easy to listen to during the day.

Doncaster Radio also has a stronger local structure than a throwaway online playlist. Its current site includes local news, sport, weather, traffic, school closures, a what’s on guide, local directory, vouchers and listener features such as Bruce On The Loose and Back Trax Featured Year. That gives the station a practical role as well as an entertainment one, which is exactly what local radio should be doing.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Bruce Edwards: Hosts Breakfast With Bruce Edwards, waking up Doncaster and Bassetlaw from 6am with hit music, latest travel and the Back Trax mystery year.
  • Mike Nicholson: Presents Daytimes With Mike Nicholson, taking listeners through the morning and lunchtime with local information and the biggest hits.

  • Jonathan Turner: Hosts The House Party on Friday nights, giving the station a weekend party strand.
