High Peak Radio's Public File
High Peak Radio is one of the success stories of the UK’s vibrant local broadcasting scene. Helping to maintain that success, the Office of Communications regulates what we do in the interests of High Peak people. As part of our commitment to Ofcom, we publish a ‘Public File’. Here it is!

The amount of local programming per day produced by the station As we have such a strong focus on the High Peak, almost all our output is locally produced and presented from our studios in Chapel-en-Frith or from outside broadcast locations across the High Peak. Our licence allows five hours a week of exceptions to this rule, notably including the hugely popular Hit 40 UK.
Ofcom Localness Guidelines Ofcom, the government regulator with responsibility for local radio, has produced localness guidelines that this station adheres to. These guidelines can be read here
In addition all local radio stations have written 'formats' that they must follow at all times. High Peak Radio's is unusual in that Ofcom's document (drawing on experience gained in more urban areas with more stations) seeks to invent a focus on 25-54 year-old listeners, whilst we have always aimed to serve the whole High Peak population. We promise to carry-on doing so! You can read our Format here
