The Latest Hits and Greatest Memories
24 hours a day in Stereo For the West Midlands and Shropshire
Welcome to exciting, entertaining Beacon Radio.
When you turn on to Beacon, you’ll find one of the most exciting radio stations in the UK! Our mix of music is unique; we call it ‘Latest hits and greatest memories’.
It means that every day we’re playing all the latest chart hits, plus some of the greatest music memories around.
Hear all the hits on Beacon
When it comes to music, we know you’ll hear the best on Beacon. But that’s only half the story. Beacon is also a caring station, in touch with the local community and its requirements.
Beacon broadcasts 24 hour coverage of local, national and international news and we bring you all the latest sporting action from around the globe. And every day between 9am and 5pm Beacon broadcasts a ‘Helpline’ service. Every month hundreds of listeners are helped by this service — from locating props for a local operatic society; to helping people in serious difficulty.
‘But above all Beacon Radio is entertaining’. We continually run on air competitions. We have celebration lines, school call and something we call the Mega Quiz — a simple telephone call is all that’s required and you could win a major prize!
