UCB 2 is the worship-focused sister station to UCB 1, built around praise, worship, Bible teaching and Christian encouragement. It has a softer and more devotional feel than a standard music station, with songs chosen to support prayer, reflection and everyday faith rather than simply fill a playlist.

The station is operated by United Christian Broadcasters from Stoke-on-Trent and is available nationally on DAB+ where reception allows. UCB 2 is a strong fit for listeners who want Christian radio that leans into worship and teaching, with a schedule that includes early morning praise, breakfast, testimony-led programming, specialist gospel and classic praise shows, and evening Bible-based content.

What gives UCB 2 its value is the mix of music and meaning. The station is not just playing worship songs back-to-back; shows such as This Is My Story, Worship & The Word, Southern Gospel and Great Hymns give the service proper identity. It works well for listeners who want Christian worship radio in the background, but also for people who want teaching, testimony and encouragement woven naturally into the day.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Samuel Ball — Breakfast and Southern Gospel: Samuel Ball is one of UCB 2’s key daytime voices, presenting Breakfast and also appearing on Southern Gospel. Breakfast gives the station a warm, faith-centred start to the day, while Southern Gospel brings a specialist music strand into the evening schedule.
  • Abi Gregory — This Is My Story: Abi Gregory presents This Is My Story, a testimony-led programme that gives UCB 2 more depth than a simple worship playlist. The show focuses on real stories of faith, encouragement and personal experience.
  • Lydia Oakes — Early Mornings and Afternoons: Lydia Oakes appears across UCB 2’s early morning and afternoon schedule, helping carry the station’s worship and encouragement format through the quieter parts of the day with a calm, listener-friendly style.
  • Ruth O'Reilly-Smith — Drive: Ruth O'Reilly-Smith presents Drive, giving UCB 2 a steady late-afternoon presence for listeners heading home, winding down or looking for music and encouragement at the end of the working day.
  • Becky Proffitt — The Worship Service: Becky Proffitt presents The Worship Service, a focused worship programme that fits neatly with UCB 2’s identity as the home of hope and worship.
  • Anne Henderson — Worship & The Word: Anne Henderson presents Worship & The Word, combining praise and worship music with Bible-based encouragement. It is one of the clearest examples of UCB 2’s music-plus-teaching approach.
  • Matt Brown — Sunday and testimony programming: Matt Brown is associated with UCB 2’s weekend and story-led output, including listener-focused features and testimony-based programming. His work helps bring real-life faith stories into the station’s schedule.
