“Don’t worry all your favourite broadcasters will still be here seven days a week.”

For more than two decades, Trax FM was one of Doncaster's most popular listens – but when it was axed and replaced with a nationwide station called Greatest Hits Radio in 2020, a void was created for a truly local station with local presenters focusing on local issues.

TX1, staffed and produced by a host of presenters from the ex-Trax stable, stepped in to fill the gap before the switch to the new name of Doncaster Radio.
