Southport radio stations

Southport radio reflects a coastal town in Merseyside with its own local communities, cultural activity and visitor economy. Broadcasting rooted in the town can bring music together with information about everyday life, giving residents access to interviews, local organisations and subjects from their surroundings. The town's identity provides a clear focus within the wider north-west of England. Local radio can also recognise Southport's connections with neighbouring places and the region around it. A broad music programme may sit alongside specialist interests, sport, voluntary activity and discussion. These contributions allow the listening experience to reflect the range of people who live and work in the area. Services in this category have a substantial broadcasting or editorial relationship with Southport. Their coverage can extend beyond the town, but the local connection should remain visible in the service's purpose or programme. The category describes place and audience rather than prescribing one musical repertoire or ownership model.
