Boom Radio is an independent national radio station in the United Kingdom aimed at baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964. Launched on February 14, 2021, it broadcasts nationally on DAB and online. The station was founded by radio executives Phil Riley and David Lloyd, who felt older listeners were being overlooked by other stations.
Boom Radio features a mix of music from across the decades, including classic hits and selected contemporary songs. Its presenters include well-known radio personalities such as Graham Dene, David Hamilton, and Nicky Horne. The station's programming is recorded and presented remotely by its hosts from their own homes.
The station's schedule includes shows like Graham Dene's breakfast show, David Lloyd's morning program, and David Hamilton's afternoon show. Boom Radio also offers specialty programs like "The Easy Hour" in the evenings and late-night shows with Diana Luke.
In addition to its main station, Boom Radio has launched two sister stations: Boom Light, which plays music from the 1950s and easy listening, and Boom Rock, featuring genres like album rock, hard rock, and prog rock.
