Nation Radio Somerset

Nation Radio Somerset is the Somerset edition of Nation Broadcasting's Westcountry service. It shares presenters and programmes with the Devon and Cornwall editions, while carrying localised news, travel information, commercials and station identity. The service therefore combines a regional entertainment schedule with information selected for Somerset, rather than presenting every programme as a separate county production.

The Westcountry programme expanded in March 2026, when Somerset's existing service gained a full schedule alongside the launch of the Devon and Cornwall stations. The launch team brought together broadcasters with backgrounds in South West commercial radio, including Saffy, Matt Rogan, Scott Temple and Stuart McGinley. The project placed local news and traffic alongside a broad selection of familiar hits.

The weekday output runs from early-morning music into breakfast, daytime and evening programmes. Published schedules have featured Matt & Saffy at breakfast, Tony Shepherd in the afternoon and Stuart McGinley in the evening, with Tim Allen covering late-night hours. Individual presenters can vary between editions of the schedule, while the programme retains its mix of established popular music and on-air conversation.

At weekends, Greg Burns and Steve Power appear alongside So... Let's Talk About Music with Dr Fox. The House Party with Neil Greenslade occupies a substantial Saturday evening slot, followed by Nation Nights. These shared programmes give Somerset listeners access to the wider Nation line-up, while the county-specific news and travel preserve the distinction between the three Westcountry editions.
