Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM

Mid Sussex Radio serves Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and surrounding communities including Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Ditchling and villages further across the district. Its music ranges from the 1960s to current releases, with room for local unsigned artists alongside established names. Interviews with councillors, businesses and community organisations connect the songs to everyday life in this part of Sussex, while events coverage includes local theatre, music and heritage activities.

Afternoon Delight gives its music a playful structure through features such as Guess the Year, a word conundrum and selections organised around a particular decade. Drive Time combines local travel and news with business information and a film quiz. These are recognisable daytime formats, but the station also gives individual presenters space to follow more particular interests beyond the general music mix.

Peter Freer-Ash's Folk Show brings together older and contemporary folk music. Ben Featherstone's Late Show takes a more unusual direction, combining extended interviews with avant-garde sounds and surreal elements. Andrew Stone presents Worldwide Mix, while Raymond Speck's Jukebox Playlist looks back across the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, occasionally bringing less familiar B-sides into the selection. His Chart Rewind provides another route into past popular music.

The station operates as a community interest company whose surplus supports the service rather than shareholders. Volunteers make the programmes and help with activities away from the studio, including local events, and training gives new contributors a route into broadcasting. That structure supports a schedule in which familiar records, specialist knowledge and conversations about Mid Sussex can all have a place.
