Reelworld has signed a new strategic partnership with SourceAudio, bringing together two major players in radio jingles, imaging and production music.

The agreement gives Reelworld clients exclusive access to preferred pricing on SourceAudio’s Alpha Libraries for Radio, which is already used by more than 2,500 affiliate stations in the United States.
A global edition of Alpha Libraries will now also be rolled out to Reelworld’s client base of thousands of affiliate stations worldwide.
Alpha Libraries is the industry’s largest production music service, offering more than 3.5 million tracks, 42,000 albums and 662,000 sound effects and imaging elements.
These are all pre-cleared for use across broadcast radio, digital, social and podcast platforms. Together with Reelworld’s jingles and creative branding tools, the partnership aims to cover every production music requirement outside of PRO blanket licences.
Mike Thomas, CEO at Reelworld, said: “Our mission has always been to help radio sound its absolute best.
“Partnering with SourceAudio and offering Alpha Libraries is a natural extension of that mission. It’s about giving our clients more tools, more creativity, and more value.”
Andrew Harding, Co-Founder and CEO at SourceAudio, added: “Reelworld’s reputation for excellence aligns perfectly with our vision for Alpha Libraries.
“Together, we’re making it easier than ever for programmers and producers to access the world-class audio resources they need to stand out.”
Reelworld and SourceAudio say the collaboration will simplify production processes for stations while enabling them to elevate their on-air sound and keep pace with the demands of a competitive media environment.

BCfm and Ujima Radio have collaborated on a one-hour documentary exploring the violent disorder that took place in Bristol last summer.

We Don’t Do That Here is funded through Bristol City Council’s Community Recovery Fund, the project also includes work on a protocol to help guide how community radio can respond in moments of crisis and public disorder.
The riots of July and August 2024 erupted in 27 towns and cities following the knife attack in Southport and were fuelled by online misinformation.
In Bristol, tensions centred on Castle Park and the Mercure Hotel, where asylum seekers were housed.
The programme brings these events to life through first-hand interviews with asylum seekers, local residents, activists, police officers, journalists and charity leaders.
While it explores the fear and violence of those nights, it also highlights acts of solidarity and resilience shown across Bristol.
Marcus Smith, Development Lead at BCfm Radio, said the documentary captures voices too often unheard. “These riots left scars, but they also highlighted the resilience and determination of Bristol’s people,” he explained.
Miranda Rae, Station Manager of Ujima Radio, said: “Community radio has always been about amplifying local voices, but in times of crisis that role becomes even more vital.”
The documentary is available now from both stations and to download here.
