Two Valleys Radio is an community radio station that covers the Colne and Home Valleys. Staffed largely by volunteers in association with community arts organisation Heads Together.

Rather than broadcast over the airwaves Two Valleys Radio is put out through the internet, thereby bypassing all those pesky broadcasting bandwidth regulations. You can tune in to their shows live by going to twovalleysradio.co.uk. If you miss any of the shows you can also listen again via the same website.

Here’s January and Febuary’s program schedule:

• Every Monday 4pm-6pm – Monday Night Clinic. A regular weekly broadcast including “Two Valleys: Many Views: the audio newspaper for the Holme and Colne Valleys
• 29th January 4pm-6pm – Institute of Ideas. An in-depth look at villages in the valleys, through different themes each month. January’s show looks at New Year’s resolutions plus a live session and interview with Huddersfield band Maia.
• 6th Febuary 2pm-7pm – Education Express. Half-termly broadcast: students bringing the latest news from their schools and colleges.
• 26th Febuary 2pm-5pm – Institute of Ideas. An in-depth look at villages in the valleys, through different themes each month.

Two Valleys Radios are always open to new volunteers and ideas. You can find a list of there various meetings and planning sessions in January here.

And if after that you still haven’t had enough of locally produced audio content then you could always check out my own podcast Lee and Dan’s Midnight Movie Club (ok so it doesn’t have a great deal to do with the Colne Valley, but I thought I’d sling in a sneaky plug anyhow).
