BBC Radio Shropshire


BBC Radio Shropshire is the BBC's local radio station serving Shropshire.

According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 77,000 listeners as of May 2025.

Technical

The 96 MHz FM signal from The Wrekin is the strongest, and can be heard from outside the county, especially along the M5 and M6 near Birmingham, as well as into western Staffordshire, southern Cheshire and Wrexham.
The other transmitters have a much weaker signal only heard up to about away. These three transmitters are for broadcasting to the south of the county, which has a hilly terrain that reduces the effectiveness of FM transmissions.
The station also broadcasts on Freeview TV channel 713 in the BBC West Midlands region and streams online via BBC Sounds.

Programming

Local programming is produced and broadcast from the BBC's Shrewsbury studios from 6 am to 2pm each day with Adam Green at breakfast and mid-morning with Clare Ashford. The Sunday breakfast programme also broadcasts from the station.
The station's late show, airing from 10 pm to 1 am, originates from either BBC Radio London or BBC Radio Manchester.
During the station's downtime, BBC Radio Shropshire simulcasts overnight programming from BBC Radio 5 Live.
