Leeds firm launches multilingual localised radio news service

Leeds-based broadcasting company Radio News Hub is launching a new hourly news service, designed for radio stations worldwide to deliver news in their native languages.

As the first provider to offer such a tailored service, Radio News Hub is set to revolutionize the way news is consumed across the globe. Radio News Hub ensures full legal compliance while delivering news that is relevant and timely for each location. Whether it’s the latest updates from La Liga in Spain, political developments involving Donald Trump in the US, Wizz Air’s expansion of new hubs in Poland, or pressing tourism issues in Greece, the dedicated Radio News Hub team promises to provide comprehensive coverage that resonates with local audiences.

Co-founder Jamie Fletcher said: “We are thrilled to launch this service that empowers radio stations to connect with their listeners in a more meaningful way. By providing news in local languages, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the world around us.”

Fellow co-founder Stephanie Otty added, “Our commitment to delivering relevant news

highlights the importance of local perspectives. We believe that every story matters, and we are here to share it with the world.”

Radio News Hub merged with Sassy Create and Through The I in late 2024, appointing former programme director at Real Radio Yorkshire and Heart Yorkshire Ricky Durkin as head of content, and former producer of Radio 4’s Today Programme and BBC Asian Sounds news editor Dave McMullan as news editor in the process.

McMullan said at the time: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining Radio News Hub at such an exciting time in its growth. With its new state of the art premises in Leeds, it’s got an ambitious team of journalists eager to tell stories and explain a complicated world to a diverse group of stations worldwide. It couldn’t be a better time to return to my first love, commercial radio”

The news service is dedicated to providing radio stations with high-quality news content tailored to their specific audience needs.

With a focus on local relevance and legal compliance, Radio News Hub strives to be a trusted source of information for radio broadcasters around the globe.
