Southend-on-Sea radio stations

Westcliff forms part of that local setting, with cultural activity, education, businesses and residential life contributing to the area's identity.

The city's coastal position and connections with the rest of Essex create a setting in which local and regional interests overlap. Radio may concentrate on community subjects, specialist music or a combination of both. A DJ-led service can have a clear Southend identity even when its repertoire appeals to listeners far beyond the city.
