Fix Radio

Fix Radio was founded by its current (as of 2023) CEO, Louis Timpany, to provide music, news and entertainment aimed at UK tradespeople. It went on-air at 7am on 26 April 2017 with the tagline "We're Nailing It!" and special guest Charlie Mullins. The first song played was Starship's "We Built This City". It specialises in trade focused content with dedicated painting and decorating, heating and plumbing, carpentry, plastering, and electrical shows. Although it broadcasts 24 hours a day, only the hours of 6am to 10pm are produced "as live". It was initially launched on DAB digital radio in London operating out of the Spectrum Radio building in Battersea. Broadcasts expanded to cover Manchester on 14 January 2019 at 7am on the SSDAB minimux. == Broadcasting nationwide ==

In March 2022 it was announced that the station would start broadcasting nationwide by joining Sound Digital's national DAB digital radio multiplex after securing a national broadcasting licence and £950,000 of crowdfunding. It launched nationally on 3 May 2022 and moved to new headquarters at the Vox studios in Vauxhall. On 19 May 2023, Fix Radio confirmed it had signed a deal with TradePoint to sponsor the station's breakfast show, The Bald Builders Breakfast Show. In November 2023, Louis Timpany, the founder and CEO of Fix Radio, won Creative Entrepreneur of the Year at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards in London. On 7 December 2023, Fix Radio launched a poll to ask listeners if they wanted the station to play Christmas hits after its breakfast presenters had an on air discussion about whether it was too early for Christmas songs. The poll ran until 15 December, with the playlist from 18 December determined by its outcome. On 29 October 2025, it was announced that business coach Craig Wilkinson would join Chance Litchfield on Fix Radio for a new regular feature on Snag the Week. == Notable presenters ==
