About BBC Radio Manchester
BBC Radio Manchester is the BBC’s local radio station for Greater Manchester, covering news, sport, and conversation for the city and its surrounding areas, with a free live stream available through BBC Sounds.
As a BBC local station, it focuses on what’s happening in Manchester rather than national programming. That means local news bulletins, coverage of Manchester’s two football clubs, and the kind of community-level stories that national stations skip over. If you’re trying to find out what’s going on in the city, it’s a more useful listen than a generic music station.
You can tune in online at any time through the BBC Sounds website or app, no subscription needed. The stream is free and works on any device. The station broadcasts on FM in the Manchester area, though the exact frequency isn’t listed here.
