Torquay radio

Torquay is a coastal town in Torbay, forming part of South Devon's connected urban and seaside communities. Its local facilities serve residents as well as people travelling from nearby areas and visitors to the coast. Radio associated with Torquay can reflect these different relationships while giving the town's own organisations and activities a place in the programme. Community interviews, charitable projects and local events can sit alongside music and presented entertainment. A service based in a hospital may address patients and staff while also reaching their families at home. Recorded conversations and specialist programmes offer further ways for listeners to follow interests connected with Torquay and the wider Torbay area. Torbay links Torquay with Paignton and Brixham, creating an audience whose journeys and local interests often cross town boundaries. Healthcare, public services and coastal leisure all contribute to those connections. Programmes made in Torquay can follow activity around the bay while still reflecting the more immediate experiences of residents and organisations within the town.
