Welcome...
MIDWEST RADIO brings a fresh approach to local radio in Somerset and Dorset. We're proud to be local, and we're proudly independent. That means we put the needs of local listeners and local businesses first.
Midwest Radio is owned and managed by Chris Carnegy, who's been heard all over the planet as host of the BBC World Service 'Business Report'. In 1995, as the original controlling shareholder of Vale FM, he helped start the UK-wide trend for truly local radio.
At our studio bases in Yeovil and Shaftesbury, our round-the-clock broadcasting is managed by radio experts who love their localities. Midwest boast well-loved regional broadcasters, and advertising professionals who really care about delivering for local businesses.
Broadcasting from four powerful transmitters across south Somerset and north Dorset, our two radio stations deliver the programmes people love. Local news, events and gossip, the latest bargains in nearby shops and showrooms, and the best music mix on the dial.
Welcome to Midwest Radio... We hope to serve you for many years to come
