Perth radio

Perth is a Scottish city on the River Tay, with a local audience that also draws on surrounding parts of Perth and Kinross. People use its healthcare facilities, shops, workplaces and cultural venues from across that area. Broadcasting with a Perth remit can recognise those connections while giving the city's own community organisations and residents a place in its programmes. Music and conversation may be joined by voluntary-sector activity, local information or material intended for particular listeners. Services concerned with care can link hospitals, supported housing and people living at home, creating an audience that is defined by shared needs as well as location. Other programme-makers may concentrate on entertainment or the interests of a more general city audience. This geographical category covers stations with a meaningful Perth base or service connection. It does not prescribe a musical style or a single type of presentation: specialist shows, requests and general listening can all form part of the area's output. The common point is a relationship with the Scottish city and its surrounding communities, rather than the similarly named places elsewhere.
