Central Radio North West launched as a new independent local radio service across Blackpool in September 2022. Celebrating its first birthday in September 2023 the station expand into Preston, Leyland and Chorley, and quickly grew to include Blackburn and Burnley in East Lancashire.
The station will bring its bigger selection of music and local information to Bolton and Bury, with well-established broadcasters including UK commercial radio multi award-winning presenter, Danny Matthews, who hosts the station’s flagship breakfast show, weekdays between 6 and 10am.
Nathan Hill, Central Radio’s Station Director, says:
‘’We’re over the moon to expand our very popular locally focused radio service into even more areas.”
“Since our initial launch in Blackpool last year, and shortly followed by our expansion into Central and East Lancashire, we’ve supported numerous charities by donating over £60,000’s worth of promotion and have given away around £20,000’s worth of prizes with various competitions including free food for families each week with our ‘Win your Tea for Free’ which is currently partnered with McDonald’s restaurants. We very much wish to continue with this positive community impact into our new broadcast areas.”
Central Radio currently broadcasts to an audience of 941,000 people across Central and West Lancashire and the additional new areas will see an extra audience of 450,000 people across Bolton & Bury. Listeners may need to rescan their radio devices after the 14th of February to find Central.
