Walsall will gain a new local radio service when Devote Radio launches on Small Scale DAB this month.<\/p>\n

The station will officially go live on Friday 29 May 2026, with a schedule built around contemporary music, presenter led shows and specialist programmes for Walsall and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Devote Radio<\/a> says its output will include live daytime and evening shows, with a focus on personality led radio, music discovery and community engagement.<\/p>\n

The station has also been building an online news and editorial platform ahead of launch, including three weekly blogs, widening its offer beyond the live radio service.<\/p>\n

Reece Badland, Operations Director of Devote Radio, said: \u201cThe station has been built around fresh music, personality-led broadcasting and creating opportunities for new and existing talent to be heard across Walsall and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in November 2025, Devote Radio has spent recent months developing its broadcast infrastructure, training presenters and preparing its content output before going live.<\/p>\n

Listeners will be able to hear the station on Small Scale DAB in Walsall, as well as online through mobile and smart speakers.<\/p>\n
