About BBC Radio 5 live
BBC Radio 5 live is the BBC’s rolling news and sport network based at MediaCityUK in Salford, delivering breaking stories, live reports and informed conversation throughout the day. Journalists provide on‑the‑ground updates, interviews with decision‑makers and analysis that explains what events mean for listeners. When the action starts, the station switches to live commentary on football, Formula 1, cricket, tennis and rugby, with reporters at venues bringing immediacy and detail.
Beyond headline events, the network covers politics, business, technology, consumer issues and wellbeing, while late‑night programmes allow reflective discussion and stories that matter to communities across the UK. Sports output includes results, fixtures, injury updates and transfer news, backed by pundits who understand tactics and pressure. 5 live aims to be first with the news while staying accurate and balanced, a daily habit for those seeking clarity, context and companionship.
