There are a variety of radio stations you can tune into across the Liverpool City Region, with the majority of the city's radio stations going to great lengths of incorporating all areas of the Liverpool Metropolitan Area including areas such Chester, Warrington, Ormskirk, Skelmersdale and even parts of North Wales. Three of the largest stations that cover the Metro Area are located in city centre, with Capital located along The Strand, the BBC located in Hanover Street and Radio City located high up in the sky in St. Johns Beacon.

Radio City Tower is currently the 32nd tallest building in the UK.

This Liverpool institution has been entertaining the Liverpool City Region for more than 50 years. With local legends like Tony Snell, Linda McDermott, Roger Phillips, Paul Salt, Jermaine Foster & Sean Styles entertaining us morning, noon and night.


Radio Merseyside brings you local news, sports, music and a wide variety of talk shows that integrate the Liverpool community brilliantly; hosting phone-ins with new and regular callers and weekly competitions such as the fantastic Scouse Nous(e) which was sadly discontinued recently, but don't worry, Snelly replaced it with an equally great segment.


The team at Radio Merseyside really bring to life the Scouse sense of humour and interact with the local residents perfectly; engaging with them about their issues, any troubles they are going through, to celebrate good news or just to have a good chat about everything and nothing.
