INTune Radio CIC are the only community radio station in Shropshire, formed in 2020 and now based in the Darwin Shopping Centre in Shrewsbury. Our 30+ volunteers, some with SEN, are passionate about connecting communities across Shropshire. Equality and diversity matter, we’ve created a platform that charity and community organisations can use for free, an accessible platform to all that has been used by more than 120 local charities, community organisations and local bands.

We can be listened to across all digital platforms reaching 10000 listeners, and 40,000+ people, each month through social media. We attend local events and partner with local festivals, charities, community groups and businesses. We’ve ran competitions in schools, enabled school children from different backgrounds to appear on stage at a festival for the first time, and developed a project called School Radio Club. We’ve also worked with Marches Careers Hub providing insightful radio experiences for local SEN pupils. Feedback from these experiences has inspired two new community led shows; a Saturday Radio Club for young people, and Your Memories Matter, a show for those affected by debilitating brain disease.

Directors

• Wayne Flynn, founded INTune Radio CIC in lockdown and developed it as a side project in his spare room until in 2023 when he secured our studio in Shrewsbury’s Darwin Shopping Centre. He is passionate about developing skills and confidence in everyone, most especially in young people having worked on many innovative youth projects as a designer. His 30+ years as an award wining designer means he can often be seen crafting the next project, talking about brand voice, collaborating, and implementing innovative training techniques.
• Sofia Lewis, volunteered at INTune Radio CIC in 2025. She has experienced radio as a presenter for BBC Radio Shropshire in the 70s and she brings all that experience into INTune Radio where her particualr focus is show quality. Being an active transexual poet, commentator, writer and reviewer she is well versed in applying that human edge to anything that passes through. She’s so incredibly passionate about Shrewsbury, Shropshire and giving everybody a voice in our communities – when she’s not writing or broadcasting she’ll be on a local stage singing Folk music.
• David Ripley, volunteered at INTune Radio in early 2026. He quickly became an invaluable member of the team, organising our policies and procedures with a particular focus on tech – helping to make things work and implementing strategies to assist in developing the station. David has a teaching in theatre and production background and so understands what we need to implement and when to ensure smooth studio operations, professionalism and inclusivity.
