BBC Cumbria

BBC Radio Cumbria is part of the network of around forty BBC local stations across England. We began broadcasting as BBC Radio Carlisle in 1973, changing our name to BBC Radio Cumbria nine years later. The station is currently the top performing BBC local service in England. Every week more than a third of people in Cumbria tune in. We're a speech based service with a wide range of programmes - the common factor being that they're for and about Cumbria.
