Radio News Hub

Radio News Hub is a provider of news bulletins for radio stations based in the United Kingdom. The company, which has its head office in Leeds, West Yorkshire, provides 60 second and 120 second bulletins for English speaking radio stations both in the United Kingdom and internationally. As of 2020 it produces bulletins for 200 stations.[1]

Launched in 2014, Radio News Hub was established to provide an alternative news service to existing providers, and was founded by a team of four journalists; Dave Uttley, Jamie Fletcher, Jon Francis and Stephanie Otty.[2] As well as providing news updates it also supplies weather, travel, sport and entertainment bulletins. In 2018 the company celebrated providing its one millionth bulletin to its providers. Among the radio stations on which Radio News Hub's bulletins can be heard are Chris Country, Power FM in Lanzarotte, and Nation Radio.[3] Also in 2018 the company launched a new website and redesigned its dispatch system.[4] In 2020, Radio News Hub appointed former talkRADIO news presenter Carl Hartley as a senior journalist.[5]

Having started its operations in an underground office in 2014, Radio News Hub moved to a serviced office block in the city in 2015. In November 2020, it announced plans to relocate to purpose-built studios, also based in Leeds.[5]

Coronavirus

In March 2020 Radio News Hub announced that it would produce a daily ten-minute round-up of news relating to the COVID-19 pandemic that would be made available free of charge to any radio station that wishes to carry the bulletin.[1]
