Fix Radio, the UK’s Radio Station for tradespeople launched on DAB across London on April 26th, 2017. Every facet of the station was built with a trade audience in mind and it has seen rapid growth. The London station now commands a growing weekly audience of over 35,000 listeners.

To celebrate the launch of the station, Fix Radio started the first of its now famous bacon butty tours.  These involve handing out fresh bacon butties to hard working tradespeople across the city. The success of the tour led to it becoming a permanent feature in 2018 and to date the station has handed out over 15,000 bacon butties.

‘This is an exciting time for FIX Radio, and we are proud to be expanding our coverage to more listeners across the UK. It is important to the team that we not only provide great entertainment but also regional information on traffic and weather specifically created to support the tradesperson’ added Louis Timpany.
