Why Gaydio?

The UK’s LGBTQ+ Station

Home to Gaydio Breakfast with Dave Cooper, the station reflects the lives of LGBTQ+ people across the UK as they go about their day. From the moment they wake up to the moment they clock off – we’re a mix of speech and music.

Beyond the airwaves, we act as the access-all-areas pass to Pride and the biggest queer events around the world through social, video and digital.

We’re truly the multi-platform media organisation for the LGBTQ+ community.

Tell me more…

Radio advertising boosts brand browsing by an average of 52%, showing strong impact in driving audiences to website and online action.

And 67% of LGBTQ+ consumers are more likely to recommend products and services they see advertised compared with 49% for non-LGBTQ+ consumers.

It makes commercial sense to advertise with Gaydio. You advertise to a loyal audience and get your brand message out there and your money actively supports queer people through employment, providing a service for LGBTQ+ people nationwide and empowering young people through the Gaydio Academy.
