Radio stations in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's role as Scotland's capital gives it a distinct audience, but a radio edition for the city can also share music and shows with a wider network. The relevant connection is the service's intended listeners or locally meaningful programming, not the building from which an individual programme happens to be produced. Eastern Scottish editions may include the capital while speaking to a wider area. Geography is only one part of what a station offers. Contemporary hits, familiar music, specialist choices and discussion can each address Edinburgh listeners in different ways. A city edition should be identified as such when its name and programme support that connection. Where a service is aimed across eastern Scotland instead, that broader reach deserves to be stated. These distinctions help people choose by both place and programme without assuming the same schedule for every local audience.
