Hello. We are 2ZY.

We consult for radio stations, and produce radio programming.

We can help you use audio creatively in your business. We coach you in how to sound better on the air. 2ZY offers bespoke media training, whether you're being interviewed on air for the first time or if you need specific training to respond to a news event. We believe in making better radio, and making radio better. We believe in developing new voices, discovering and growing a broader range of broadcasters.

And we believe in Manchester. Birthplace of the industrial revolution, the computer and Joy Division.
