BBC Radio Foyle is a County Londonderry local radio station owned and operated by BBC Northern Ireland, a division of the BBC. It is named after the River Foyle which flows through Derry, the city where the station is based.
It is an opt-out from BBC Radio's main Northern Ireland service, BBC Radio Ulster. Recent budget cuts saw some reduction in local programming, which now only airs during the week – currently airing between 8:00am and 4:00pm, along with some local evening programming. At all other times, and throughout the weekend, the station's frequencies carry BBC Radio Ulster.
