Great Music, Trusted Voices, and Proper Local Radio for Wrexham, Chester, Liverpool & North Wales

Marcher Vibe launched in January 2026 to bring real local radio back to Wrexham, Chester, Liverpool & North Wales.

After a successful stint as on on-line radio station Marcher Vibe was granted a licence from Ofcom and launched on DAB digital radio across Wrexham, Chester and Liverpool on the 5th May 2026

Playing the best feel-good music from the 80s to today, we're built for listeners over 35 who want great songs, familiar voices, and a station that actually knows its community.

From Dave Lee at Breakfast to the No-Repeat Workday with Eddie Castle and Crofty, Drivetime with Dan Robinson, and the All Eighties Evening Show. Plus a packed weekend schedule, Marcher Vibe is local radio done properly broadcasting on DAB, on Alexa smart speakers, and via our player app, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our Story…

For too long, Wrexham, Chester and North Wales have been underserved by local radio. National stations don't know your streets, your teams, or your community and most regional stations have drifted so far from their roots that they've forgotten what local radio is supposed to feel like.

Marcher Vibe was founded to change that. We set out to build something you could be proud of, a proper local radio station with experienced presenters, a carefully crafted music policy, and a genuine connection to the people and places that make this part of Cheshire, Merseyside & North Wales so special.

The name is a nod to history. The original Marcher Sound was one of the most beloved local stations this region ever had. We're not here to recreate the past but we are here to bring back everything that made local radio matter.

What We Sound Like…

Marcher Vibe plays feel-good music spanning five decades from the classic hits of the 80s and 90s, through the anthems of the noughties, right up to the biggest adult-friendly chart tracks of today. If it makes you smile, tap your feet, or sing along in the car, it belongs on Marcher Vibe.

We're not a jukebox. Our music is carefully selected by people who love it, presented by voices you'll come to trust, and delivered without repeats because nobody wants to hear the same song twice in a working day!
