On Tuesday, we'll be celebrating one year of Northants 1! (And 6 years as Kettering and Corby's Local Radio Station, originally launched as Shire Sounds Radio). We've got a lot planned and plenty to share with you. 🎉

We are incredibly proud of the achievements we have made at NN Media over the last year. We've significantly increased our listener figures and refined our output, supported numerous local organisations and provided valuable media and workplace-based training for young people in North Northamptonshire.

Over the next week, we've some exciting updates to share, so keep your eyes peeled.

The Northants 1 Media Academy returns for 2025 in just under two weeks' time. We've still got a couple of spaces open to local young people aged between 13-18. It's a 12-week programme in which we cover essential media skills across a range of mediums, along with essential professional skills to set yourself up for the workplace.

If this fun programme sounds like something you or your loved one would enjoy, then please contact us about the remaining placements.

The Media Academy is offered at no cost, but we do accept donations from anybody to allow us to operate the scheme alongside our other community offerings. www.northants1.co.uk/support-us 🙌

We also thank Northamptonshire Council for their support in making the Media Academy possible over the years. ❤

Yesterday we hosted an end of year training session with our Northants 1 volunteer team.

Where among other bits we had Craig Pattison from High Peak 1 (who has previously worked at numerous other local stations across the country and Heart) with us to run a presenting workshop.

Big thanks to Craig for his time, we really value our partnership between NN Media and High Peak 1.
