North Derbyshire Radio displays impressive growth in listeners
A Chesterfield-based radio station has announced a rapid growth in listeners since its launch last year.
North Derbyshire Radio has been broadcasting online since March 2021, and has grown from strength-to-strength, with more than 100,000 listeners tuning in over the last two months.
The latest statistics unveiled by the radio station also show that each listener has tuned in for an average of six hours during that time, with a total of 600,000 listening hours recorded during that period.
Station Controller, Naz Premji launched North Derbyshire Radio in 2021, having gained a wealth of experience at stations such as BBC Radio 5 Live, former Chesterfield-based station Peak 107 FM and reporting for the BBC’s Final Score show on television.
He commented: “We are delighted with our growth over the last 18 months since we launched. We provide local news, local sport and great music with presenters you all know and love.”
“This is just the beginning and we have more plans to make our station even better.”
North Derbyshire Radio is home to several local presenters who have a great knowledge of the area, such as Chris Birks, Claire Salanyk, Andy Liversidge and Nigel Turner. Listeners can also tune into the familiar voice of Sean Goldsmith, who presented Peak 107 FM’s breakfast show for several years, along with working at a host of well-known stations across the UK.
The station covers the latest local and national news, local weather reports, coverage of North Derbyshire’s sporting action, and music from the 1970s to the present day.
