About BBC Radio Newcastle
BBC Radio Newcastle is the BBC’s local radio station for the north east of England, covering Newcastle upon Tyne, the surrounding metropolitan boroughs, Northumberland, and the northern part of County Durham. It streams free online through BBC Sounds.
As a BBC local station, it follows the format you’d expect from that network: news, sport, talk, and music rooted in the area it covers. The focus is squarely regional. If something is happening in Newcastle or across the north east, this is where the BBC covers it at a local level, rather than handing it off to national programming.
You can listen live at bbc.co.uk/sounds, no subscription needed. If you’re looking for a station that keeps its attention on this particular corner of England rather than the country as a whole, this is the one the BBC built for that purpose.
