BBC Radio Northampton

BBC Radio Northampton is the BBC's local station for Northamptonshire. This stream is for listeners outside the UK. The schedule includes breakfast and daytime talk shows, travel and weather updates, local politics, community stories, phone-ins and coverage of Northampton Town, Northampton Saints rugby and the county's cricket, along with a broad mix of music for an adult audience. Presenters are well known in the county, and the tone is warm and conversational.

BBC Local Radio has a long tradition of serving communities across England, and Radio Northampton is the main BBC voice of the county. Many BBC streams are restricted to UK addresses because of rights, which is why this separate version exists for people elsewhere in the world, such as former residents who want to keep in touch with home. As a service of the BBC, it is funded mainly by the licence fee and carries no commercial advertising within the United Kingdom. The language is English, with local expressions. The stream is delivered as AAC+ at 101 kbps, an efficient codec that provides a clear sound at a moderate bitrate and works in most current browsers and on phones. It plays in your browser on RadioKite, and you can add it to your favourites.
