Boomerang Radio has expanded digital commercial radio choice in Peterborough, after launching on DAB this morning, Monday 26 January 2026.

The new service will focus on instantly recognisable hits from the 1960s through to the early 2000s, alongside locally made programming aimed at listeners across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire.

Boomerang Radio has been created by Bill Hensley, formerly station manager at HCR FM in Huntingdon, working with a management team made up of experienced radio professionals from the area, bringing together local knowledge and established broadcast skills.

The station has built a schedule that features familiar voices from the region, with Pete Tee returning to Cambridgeshire radio to host drivetime after previous roles with WGMS Classic Gold and Lite FM in Peterborough.

Boomerang Breakfast will be presented by Chris Tibbles, who has worked with Lite FM and Hereward FM in Peterborough, KLFM in Kings Lynn, Rutland Radio and BBC Radio Cambridgeshire as he takes on the role of waking up the county each weekday morning.

Chris said:

"I'm really looking forward to waking up Cambridgeshire each day. I have all the information for the county, some great music, and a bit of a giggle along the way."

The wider on-air team also includes Gavin Samways, Gary Ball, Vince Edwards, Des Barber, Nigel Payne and Gary Champion contributing to a schedule built around music, conversation and locally focused content.

Programming will feature regular what's on guides, interviews with people from across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire and a playlist designed around familiar songs spanning several decades.

Bill said the focus has been on delivering a service rooted in the area, adding:

"Boomerang Radio is built on local values. Truly local commercial radio is back for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire with local interviews, instantly recognisable music that you can sing along to, and some really strong voices on air." each day. I have all the information for the county, some great music, and a bit of a giggle along the way."

The station began broadcasting online at the end of October last year via its website, mobile apps and smart speakers, but today launched DAB across Peterborough with Boomerang Breakfast at 6am.

Boomerang Radio plans to launch on DAB across the rest of Cambridgeshire this year, expanding to Cambridge, Huntingdon, and the Ely and Fens transmitters.
