Windrush Radio is an Oxfordshire station based in Witney, built around music, presenters and a local-global outlook. The station describes itself as “Your Local Radio | Oxfordshire” and “your local global station”, which is a fair summary: it has a West Oxfordshire base, broadcasts on DAB in Oxford, and streams beyond the county for listeners who like its mix of specialist shows and broad music programming.

The station launched on 31 December 2018 with a mission to bring strong music and quality shows to listeners around West Oxfordshire and beyond. Its output is not boxed into one neat format. Windrush Radio moves through indie, dance, trance, jazz, country, soul, electronic music, drum and bass, local music and guest DJ slots, with daytime automation sitting alongside evening and weekend presenter-led shows. That gives it a more varied sound than a standard local pop station.

Windrush Radio is especially useful for listeners who want Oxfordshire radio with personality rather than a safe regional playlist. The station gives space to local artists, specialist DJs, live music features, festival links, dance shows, jazz, country and indie programming. For Witney, Oxford and West Oxfordshire listeners, it offers a station that feels local without being small-minded: rooted in the area, but wide open musically.
