Cross Rhythms City Radio is a UK community radio station broadcasting to Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The station was one of the original 15 to be granted pilot licences for a new form of local radio, then known as Access Radio. Following several extensions of the pilot scheme (now renamed Community Radio), a full five-year licence was granted in June 2005. Cross Rhythms City Radio was the first FM Christian station in the UK to be granted a full licence.
