About Phoenix Radio

Phoenix FM allows local talent the ability to show Calderdale what they can do, featuring local musicians, comedians, bands, poets, actors, writers and businessmen and women, as well as highlighting issues which affect the local community such as housing, education, sport, disabilities and local recruitment availability.

With support from the European Social Fund and the Learning + Skills Council we were able to set up a radio based training scheme for young people aged 16-25, the Phoenix Radio Empower Project offering the Youth Achievement Award. Through this training we went from being an unknown quantity to gaining much support and interest both locally and nationally. We have been recognised as the first in the country to develop CD-Rom based portfolios for this Award. The Phoenix Radio Empower Project was the result of a dream to support the community of Calderdale, in particular the younger people who make up our future, when we were off-air. It hasn't only been about empowering it has also been run in the spirit of inclusion. We have since contracted with e2e (entry 2 employment) to continue this programme.

We are always looking for dedicated volunteers who are committed to supporting Calderdale's very own radio station.

Welcome to Phoenix Radio 96.7FM

Phoenix Radio has been given the opportunity to receive funding through the Aviva Community Fund. The station has been running now for 10 years, giving a unique opportunity to many people who live and work in Calderdale to be part of the area's only full time community radio station. To be able to receive the award we need your vote and the vote of other people you may know who wish to support us. The project we wish to create is to help bring people old and young together to share tales and memories of Halifax and the surrounding areas.
