Radio stations in Nottingham

Nottingham is a city within Nottinghamshire, with local life that cannot be explained solely through a countywide label. A named Nottingham radio service may also reach nearby communities, but a city connection is meaningful when its programme and audience actually identify with the place. Merely receiving a broadcast in Nottingham does not meet that test. The city's public decisions, culture, sport and communities can all become subjects for local radio. A service may bring people together through interviews and reporting, or use another editorial format while retaining a real city identity. The place category expresses that connection without promising a particular genre, type of programme or amount of speech. Those details need to be described for each service. Nottinghamshire is the wider county and should be identified separately when appropriate. Using both labels allows a station to show its city anchor and broader audience without claiming the two geographies are identical. The introduction describes a lasting place, not a set of stations or temporary shows.
