Boom Radio UK

Boom Radio UK doesn’t try to be trendy—it stays loyal and authoritative for its audience. The programs are hosted not just by DJs, but by legends who shaped the history of radio themselves. They play the music they grew up with alongside their listeners: hits and rare tracks from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

The faces of the station remain Graham Dene and David Hamilton. Listening to The Breakfast Show at 07:30, you immediately enter a warm, authentic atmosphere filled with live conversation in School Call and sincere stories. As Graham Dene puts it: "We aren't just playing records; we’re sharing the soundtrack of our lives." This connection creates a level of trust you simply can't buy—especially knowing the presenters broadcast from their own home studios, with the legendary "Diddy" hosting from his house in Sussex.

The music here isn't just a playlist either—it’s a collection "for those in the know." Rare Merseybeat by The Merseybeats sounds just as natural as the hits of Stevie Wonder. There is expertise behind every track.

Despite FM absence and patchy DAB+ coverage in Cornwall or the Highlands, Boom Radio’s loyalty is soaring. RAJAR (Q1 2026) figures show a weekly reach of over 630,000 and a 0.9% market share. An average of 14.6 hours per listener underscores the station's exceptional appeal.
