About BBC Radio Cumbria
BBC Radio Cumbria is the BBC’s dedicated local station serving the county of Cumbria. It delivers a compelling blend of local news, talk, specialist music programming, sports coverage, and community-focused features—such as the beloved Lamb Bank, which has been a unique fixture since 1974.
Originally launched as BBC Radio Carlisle on 24 November 1973, the station rebranded to BBC Radio Cumbria in May 1982 to reflect its expanded remit across the newly formed county.
Broadcasting from studios in Carlisle, the station serves Cumbria across FM, AM, DAB+, Freeview and online platforms via BBC Sounds, ensuring wide accessibility for listeners across the region.
