What Is Roch Valley Radio?

Roch Valley Radio is an Ofcom licensed Community Radio Stations based and broadcasting in Bury/Bolton and Rochdale/Oldham.

Community Radio Stations are run on a not-for-profit basis and are designed to provide social gain and community benefits to the station's target community.

Not only do we provide training courses within our studios, but our output also provides promotion for local charities and not-for-profit organisations, provide discussion and conversation around relevant matters that are important to our target audience and provides an outlet for young people to showcase their talents.

 

How To Listen...

Tune in to Roch Valley Radio in your car, at home and at work and DAB in Rochdale/Oldham and Bury/Bolton, as well as online through the app.

How To Get Involved...

Roch Valley Radio enables the local community to get involved - from contributions to our programming through to volunteering. 

Roch Valley Radio is here to support local events and groups by proving on-air promotion. You can get involved by telling us what your group is up to, and adding your events to our Guide.

As a Not-For-Profit Community Radio Station, Roch Valley Radio relies heavily on volunteers from presenters through to admin and production.  Even if you have Microphonebia, there's still lots to get involved with outside of the studio!  It's a great way to learn new skills, add experience to your CV and make new friends too.

Here are some of the skills we need:

  • Presenters (previous experience not required)
  • Producers
  • Reporters
  • Social Media Content Creators
  • Administrators
  • Volunteer Co-ordinators
  • Marketing/Promotions
  • Sales
  • And more... (tell us your skills and we'll often be able to find you a role!)
