RadioReverb provides an accessible, sustainable and accountable grassroots radio station for Brighton and Hove, broadcasting programmes on topics as diverse as the arts, healthy living, business, community issues, food and drink, LGBT+ lives and the environment, alongside highly regarded specialist music shows covering a wide range of genres.

We started back in 2004 with a 2-week trial broadcast during the Brighton Festival. In 2007 we were awarded a full community broadcasting licence.

Our Presenters

All our presenters are all volunteers, generously giving their time to bring their unique programmes to your airwaves.
