TOP 10 RADIO SHOWS YOU SHOULDN'T MISS IN 2026

Piccadilly Radio 261 has grown into a genuine home for every kind of listener, and with five dedicated channels running around the clock, there's never been a better time to find your new favourite show. Whether you're after nostalgia, fresh beats, or something to keep you company on the school run, here's where to start.

Morning 261 kicks things off every weekday with Jack and Lora, mixing chat, requests, and the songs that get Manchester moving before 10am. It's the show most listeners tell us they can't start their day without.

For anyone who grew up on the original Piccadilly Radio, our Heritage 261 channel is where the magic lives on — classic jingles, familiar voices, and the golden-oldies playlist that made the station a household name.

If it's the 80s you're after, our Eighties channel runs wall-to-wall hits from the decade that defined a generation, while Nineties brings back the sound of Britpop, dance anthems, and everything in between.

Looking for something to unwind to? Gold plays the songs that never go out of style — timeless tracks handpicked for long drives and quiet evenings alike.

And when the weekend rolls around, Dance 103 takes over with non-stop electronic and club anthems, perfect for anyone who wants their radio to keep the energy up.

Beyond the music channels, our podcast lineup keeps growing too — The Vinyl Voyage with Marcus Vance is a must-listen for anyone who loves the story behind the music, diving deep into the history of vinyl, pressing plants, and the collectors keeping physical music alive.

Whichever channel you land on, Piccadilly Radio 261 is built to sound like home — born in Manchester, made for however you listen. Tune in live at piccadillyradio261.co.uk and find your new favourite show today.
