Experience You Can Trust & Passion You Can Hear
Our on-air talent is deeply rooted in the community and proud to celebrate everything that makes this region so unique. If it’s happening in Wrexham, Chester & North Wales, we’re talking about it and if it sounds great, we’re playing it. While we’re a brand-new station, we bring decades of broadcasting experience to the table through our on-air personalities who are familiar voices trusted by thousands across the region:
Dave Lee
A household name across Wrexham and Chester, Dave Lee co-hosted the hugely popular MFM Breakfast Show alongside Becky Wicks from 1999 to 2010. The show achieved the highest listening figures in MFM’s history, peaking at over one million listening hours. Now, Dave returns to the breakfast slot on Marcher Vibe, bringing his energy and experience to weekday mornings from 7am to 10am.
Dilly Braimoh
Also joining the Marcher Vibe line-up is a true broadcast veteran: Dilly Braimoh. You might recognise Dilly from his regular appearances on ITV’s This Morning.
Dilly has enjoyed a rich and varied career across television and radio, including presenting roles on the BBC, Channel 4, and his own ITV series: ‘Dilly Down Town’ and ‘Dilly Dines Out’. His charismatic presence and deep media experience brings star power to Marcher Vibe.
Your New Customers Are Listening – Are You Talking To Them?
Every business in Wrexham, Chester and North Wales faces the same challenge: cutting through the noise. Social media posts get scrolled past. Flyers go in the bin. Online ads get blocked. But radio? Nobody skips a radio ad. Nobody blocks it. When your advert plays on Marcher Vibe, every single listener hears it.
And they're already listening more than you'd think. In our first four months broadcasting on-line, over 12,000 listeners tuned and stayed for an average of 54 minutes a day. That's not people sampling us once, that's people coming back every morning, every drive home, every evening. Your ad reaches an audience that's already paying attention.
There's something else radio gives you that digital can't: borrowed trust. Your ad doesn't appear next to clickbait or between annoying pop-ups. It sits alongside presenters that listeners already know and love - Dave Lee, who delivered MFM's highest-ever ratings, and Dilly Braimoh, known to millions from ITV, BBC, and Channel 4. When your brand keeps company like that, people notice.
