New Home For UK Based News Provider Radio News Hub

UK audio news provider Radio News Hub has moved to a new home in West Yorkshire.

Until now the company has been operating out of a serviced office block near Leeds.

The move marks the latest milestone in the company’s progression – which began in a small backroom in a shared office space late in 2014.

It has also recently appointed ex-talkRADIO and 5 Live newsreader Carl Hartley as a new senior journalist with plans to introduce a new Content Manager role early in 2021.

The team at Broadcast Radio have worked on creating the two new studios. While the building – exclusively for Radio News Hub – also boasts a presentation suite, meeting room, chill area as well as the all-important newsroom.

Director Jamie Fletcher said: “We’re really excited about moving to our new home. When we first came up with the idea of a bulletin service six years ago, we had a vision of where we wanted to take the company. We have had to be sensible financially throughout the last six years – but this is an incredibly proud moment. To see it grow from an idea on a piece of paper into this is fantastic”.

Artwork is displayed within the building giving a nod to locations of some client stations – especially those who have been with the company since the launch.

Director Stephanie Otty says: “We have come a long way since those days! We were in an underground room in our first six months with virtually no natural daylight – and on market day if a van parked in a certain spot outside, we would lose all TV pictures! We are really excited about the future. We have a number of exciting plans for 2021 – this new space allows us to develop those plans.”

The company provides hourly bulletins to more than 300 radio stations across the world – with delivery via Dropbox, FTP or SFTP. It also offers bespoke packages.
