HOW WE STARTED
HOW WE STARTED
TPV began as a small personal project. Two people wanting a place to play the music they cared about without needing to package it for anyone. No strategy behind it. Just a simple idea that felt worth doing.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
WHAT MATTERS TO US
Everything here starts with a love for great music and the people who make it. That is the centre of the station. We play work that feels honest, thoughtful or interesting on its own terms, without concern for trends or categories.
Leeds has always been a city with its own sound. From post punk and Northern Soul to club culture, it has produced scenes that thrive outside the mainstream. That independence runs deep in TPV's DNA. The city's history of DIY music, grassroots venues and strong community ties continues to shape what we do today.
HOW WE BROADCAST
HOW WE BROADCAST
TPV is run by hand. Every show and selection is made because it feels right, not because it serves a plan. The sound changes day to day. Some hours are bright, some are quiet, some are odd. It reflects how people actually listen.

INDEPENDENCE
INDEPENDENCE
TPV is independent by choice. It allows the station to stay focussed on the music rather than outside demands. There are no sponsors shaping the sound and no pressure to follow trends. Independence gives us the freedom to support the work we believe in and to keep the station steady, consistent and genuine.
