Radio stations in Bath

Bath has a distinct city identity even when a radio service is shared with neighbouring places. An edition intended for Bath and another nearby city can be relevant to both without pretending to be a separate programme at every hour. A more general South West England service has a wider audience, so its connection with Bath should not be inferred solely from where it can be received or from the address of a studio. People looking for Bath radio may prefer different formats, from familiar music to spoken programmes. The geographical label helps identify the audience, while the station's own description should explain its selection and presentation. It is also useful to distinguish the city from the surrounding region: shared programmes and broader coverage are compatible with a genuine Bath connection, provided the edition actually includes the city in its intended service.
