Kerrang! 105.2 is a specialist rock music radio station broadcasting to the West Midlands in England. The station's format mixes modern & classic rock with speech programmes targeted at young people. A similar (automated) service was broadcast on Sky Digital (along with Kerrang! TV), on DAB and on Freeview, but this broadcast has now become virtually identical to Kerrang! Radio. It is connected with the Kerrang! print magazine in name, ownership and style, although the radio station has a more mainstream output than the magazine, featuring more indie and alternative rock.
The station is based in Lionel Street in the city of Birmingham, and it broadcasts from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter, covering a wide area including Warwickshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
The station has come under scrutiny from radio regulator Ofcom a number of times due to the controversial presenter of the late night show, Tim Shaw.
