Rother Radio is a local community radio station serving Rotherham and Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It is operated by Rotherham Broadcasting CIC.[1]
Rother Radio launched on the 28 September 2020 to provide a local community radio service for South Yorkshire after the area's previous local station, Rother FM, became part of the Greatest Hits Radio national network.[2] It is the successor to a previous online station named Hit Music Radio, which began in 2003.
Initially, the station launched online only before obtaining an Ofcom DAB licence. The station launched on the Shefcast Digital Multiplex on 29 August 2022.[3][4][5]
In February 2024, Ofcom announced that the station was one of 14 nationwide to receive funding.[6]
