Afternoon everyone, We’ve got some BIG news…

ALP Radio has officially been awarded a DAB licence – and from September 2025, we’ll be broadcasting across Bishop Auckland and Darlington!

We’re all about giving a voice to students, staff, and our wider community, and now we get to do it on an even bigger platform. Expect great music, local stories, and fresh perspectives – straight from the heart of our schools and towns.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s helped us get this far – we can’t wait to go live!

Hold onto your headphones, everyone! ALP Radio is gearing up for the biggest transformation in its history. After a year of bringing you the best tunes, banter, and student-driven content from our Wolsingham School studio, we’re packing up, moving out, and leveling up. That’s right—we’re relocating to a brand-new studio at Whitworth Park Academy, and trust us when we say, you’re going to want to be part of this incredible journey.

A Studio Like No Other
The new studio is undergoing a complete refurbishment from the ground up, and we’re sparing no expense. Equipped with industry-leading equipment that wouldn’t look out of place at the BBC, our new facilities will provide students, staff, and the local community with an unrivaled experience in radio production. Whether you’re a budding presenter, a tech wizard, or a creative genius with big ideas, this space is designed to inspire and deliver.

Full-Day Live Schedule
Here’s where things get really exciting: come September 2025, ALP Radio will be live all day, every day! From breakfast shows to drive-time specials, mid-morning chats to evening entertainment, we’re building a schedule packed with variety, energy, and inclusivity. Expect to hear fresh voices, innovative formats, and content that reflects the amazing diversity within our school communities.

More Inclusive Than Ever
One of our biggest goals is to make ALP Radio a station where everyone feels represented. We’re introducing more inclusive programming that highlights a wide range of perspectives, cultures, and interests. Whether it’s celebrating local talent, tackling issues that matter to young people, or simply having a laugh during lunch breaks, there will be something for everyone.

Why This Matters
This isn’t just about upgrading equipment or moving locations. It’s about creating opportunities. Opportunities for students to learn real-world skills in broadcasting, for staff to connect with their school communities in creative ways, and for listeners to be entertained, informed, and inspired. ALP Radio is more than a station—it’s a platform for voices that deserve to be heard.

The Countdown is On
Mark your calendars: September 2025 is the official re-launch, and we’re planning a celebration to match the occasion. Expect live events, special guests, and maybe even a few surprises along the way. In the meantime, keep an eye on our social media and a ear open for updates, sneak peeks at the new studio, and ways you can get involved.

This is the next chapter of ALP Radio, and it’s going to be bigger, better, and bolder than ever. So, whether you’re a long-time listener or a first-time tuner-inner, get ready to join us for the ride. The future of ALP Radio starts now, and it’s going to be epic.

ALP Radio will continue to broadcast non-stop music while these changes take place so there is no need to stop listening!

Stay tuned!
