Studio 1

🎙️ Inside Nifty Towers: Studio 1 – The Orange One 🟧

Welcome to Studio 1 at Nifty Towers, affectionately known as the orange studio – and not just because of the walls. This is home turf for Owen Sherratt, our 1pm–4pm weekday presenter, and conveniently colour-coded to match his legendary hair.

Studio 1 is one of our smaller spaces – a cosy little haven tucked away just off the main corridor. So cosy, in fact, that Owen’s famous vocal warm-ups and power poses often spill out into the hallway. If you ever hear distant chanting or someone belting out “Simply The Best” at full blast around lunchtime… it’s probably just him getting into the zone.

Unlike some of our all-singing, all-dancing broadcast suites, Studio 1 is fitted out with just the essentials – a mic, a desk, a chair that spins, and equipment simple enough that even Owen can operate it without triggering a station-wide alert. And that’s saying something.

But don’t be fooled – basic doesn’t mean boring. Studio 1 delivers the goods daily, with the kind of energy, banter, and huge tunes that keep Greater Manchester going all afternoon.

So next time you tune in and hear Owen in full swing, remember: it’s all coming to you live from the orange box of brilliance we call Studio 1.
