BBC Radio Derby is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Derbyshire. It covers all but the northern tip of the county, and also serves eastern Staffordshire. It broadcasts from its studios in Derby on 104.5, 95.3 and 96.0 FM and 1116 AM. It also transmits its progams over the internet, but does not broadcast on DAB Digital Radio.
The station began broadcasting officially in April 1971, though it went on air two months earlier than planned to cover the bankruptcy of the local engineering firm Rolls-Royce.
Much of the output is speech based, featuring phone-ins, quizzes and news. The station is aimed at listeners over 45 years of age.
BBC Radio Derby broadcasts match commentaries from local soccer/football teams; especially the Rams (Derby County) and the Brewers (Burton Albion).
