How to listen

Ways to get Bedford radio in your home and car

Bedford Radio is available on DAB in the main urban area of Bedford and Kempston, and nearby villages. 

Your digital radio will not automatically list Bedford Radio: you will need to retune it. In the settings, find Retune / Search / Autotune or similar. Your radio will take a few moments to find all the signals in the area.

The signal may not reach outer villages in Bedford Borough. Please let us know whether you can get our signal or not, using the  form below. We will use this information to lobby Ofcom for improved coverage for Bedford Radio if we need to.

As well as DAB, you can listen to Bedford Radio online on our website, or by telling your smart speaker: “Play Bedford Radio.”

Alternatively, you can take Bedford Radio with you on your smartphone or tablet, by installing our app. It's available for free on Android and iOS, and there are no in-app purchases. You can listen to our live stream, or tap through to listen to past programmes.

Bedford Radio is also available on the Radioplayer and TuneIn apps, which are compatible with Sonos systems.
