There are 3 types typically - "Barnsley Sheffield", "Sheffield Sheffield" and "Normal almost without an accent Sheffield"...

there are about 4 as i see it you have a genuine Sheffield, a northern Sheffield that is mixed with barnsley, they call south Sheffield DE Dar's K its in place of thee and thu. then there's the south Sheffield this is mixed with a chesterfield north Derbyshire accent then the west side who all try talk very posh like Brian swell the art critic. some people try to hide the way they talk, but why change and try to be someone your not lots of TV stations no longer expect their announcers to speak in a BBC accent
