West Kent Radio

West Kent Radio serves Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Southborough with music, local news and community conversation. It broadcasts on 95.5 and 106.7 FM alongside digital and online services, and is operated by West Kent Community Radio, a registered charity. Its programme places local voices beside familiar records from several decades.

Rob Carter is among the breakfast presenters, while Chris Makey and John Butt contribute to Lunch Break. Mona Channet is another regular voice, and Trevor Adams presents West Kent Albums. The schedule also includes Pure Decades, a requests programme and The Wind Down, giving specific musical themes a place beside general daytime listening.

Interviews reflect local activity rather than concentrating only on entertainment personalities. Recent conversations have covered community pharmacies, productions at the Oast Theatre and a dementia café in Southborough. A charity directory and events guide support that local brief, with coverage extending to community groups, venues and activities around the area.

Sport includes reports on Tonbridge Angels, Maidstone United, Tunbridge Wells and other local clubs. That coverage sits alongside council news, travel information and the station's music selection. West Kent's identity therefore comes from the connection between its presenting team, local interviews and sports reporting: the same towns supply the audience, the guests and many of the stories discussed between records. The station also invites volunteers and listener requests, giving local people ways to participate in the service.
