Two Boroughs Radio (known on air as 2BR) was a local radio station serving East and Central Lancashire, England. It was owned and operated by Global and broadcast from studios at Clayton-le-Moors near Accrington.

2BR will be merged with Capital Manchester and relaunched as part of the Capital radio network on 8 April 2019.

History

2BR launched on 25 July 2000, serving the Burnley, Pendle and Hyndburn areas from studios at the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate in Nelson with its transmitter located on Pendle Hill in Newchurch in Pendle, near Fence.

The station's name originally referred to the "BB" postcodes of Burnley, Pendle & Hyndburn.

Broadcasting stations in the United Kingdom do not use callsigns, but as "2" is a prefix assigned by the ITU to callsigns in Great Britain, 2BR is technically a valid radio callsign.

In August 2010, the station moved to new studios at Clayton-le-Moors, co-locating with The Bee.

On 4 April 2016, UKRD announced 2BR would merge with sister Lancashire station The Bee as part of an expansion onto DAB across the county. The merged station carried the same 2BR programming and identity, alongside opt-outs for local news, traffic and advertising in the Burnley, Blackburn and Preston & Chorley areas.[1] DAB transmissions, via the Lancashire multiplex, commenced on Wednesday 1 June 2016.

On 31 July 2018, Global Radio announced it had bought 2BR from UKRD.[2] The sale followed Global's acquisition of another Lancashire station, The Bay, which relaunched as Heart North Lancashire & Cumbria in March 2018.

Closure

On 26 February 2019, Global confirmed 2BR would be relaunched as Capital Lancashire and form part of the Capital radio network on 8 April 2019.[3] The station will be merged with Capital's existing Manchester station.

2BR ceased broadcasting at 7pm on Friday 29 March 2019, with the station entering a transition period ahead of the full relaunch as Capital, due to take place at 6am on Monday 8 April 2019.[4] The station's studios at Clayton-le-Moors closed with operations moving to Manchester. The final song that was played on the station was Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield [5]

Local output for Greater Manchester and Lancashire will consist of a three-hour regional Drivetime show on weekdays, alongside localised news bulletins, traffic updates and advertising.[6] Separate bulletins will be produced for the Blackburn & Preston and Burnley & Pendle areas.[7]
