Barnsley’s Essentials is a brand-new community radio station based at Barnsley Civic, created by and for the people of Barnsley.
Broadcasting online ahead of our official launch in September, we’re setting the stage for a future DAB application to serve the borough even more widely.
As a not-for-profit station, our mission is to amplify local voices and reflect the true spirit of our community.
We’ll be showcasing Barnsley’s culture, music, events, news, and opportunities — with real stories from real people. In the lead-up to our launch, we’re inviting the community to shape the station with us, telling us what they want to hear from their new local station.
