Why “Radio” Will Always Be in Our Name

Some organisations have rebranded themselves as audio platforms (or plan to...)

At Radio Essentials, radio is more than just a medium it’s the foundation of trust, community, and connection. It’s the word people understand, the signal they recognise, and the platform businesses still believe in.

Yes, we use audio, AI and digital tools to power what we do but those are the enablers.

Radio is the anchor.

It keeps us grounded, relevant, and true to our mission: connecting people and businesses through the local voices they know and trust.

We've been asked to find a home for some amazing history... have a look. DM me. Bear with me on replies I expect this to go nuts!

Please help if possible, this is really disappointing.

💔 Sheffield – We Need Your Help to Recover

We’ve had a right knock-back. Someone’s dumped over 1,500 fake followers on our page without us asking for it.

Here’s why it matters:

👉 Facebook sees those fake accounts not engaging, so it thinks nobody cares about our posts.
👉 That means our reach is crushed — even genuine Sheffield people don’t see us.
👉 End result: the time, graft and 20-hour days we’re putting in don’t reach the city we’re here for.

We’re a small team working flat-out to build something special for Sheffield.

This was apparently done a few months ago and we could not work why even with followers our reach via this channel has been lower than expected.

Here’s how you can help us recover our engagement:
• Invite your mates to like the page
• Share this post so it reaches further
• Like, comment or react whenever you see us pop up

Every bit of support helps us push past the fakes and get back on track.

❤️ Thank you for standing with us,
Team Sheffield Essentials. fans
