Radio stations in Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire includes Milton Keynes and other towns with different relationships to the wider South East. A programme named for Milton Keynes identifies a more specific audience than a county edition, while a service covering Beds, Bucks and Herts crosses several county boundaries. This category can reflect Buckinghamshire's share of that audience without claiming that the whole programme is confined to the county. A station's title and actual intended reach provide a sounder guide than its ability to be heard at a particular address. A Buckinghamshire category does not specify whether a service offers current pop, familiar songs or speech. Those are decisions made in the programme itself. Some network shows may be common to several named editions, so a county association should not be turned into a claim that every hour is separately produced there. A Milton Keynes city term gives precision where that place is explicitly addressed, whereas a cross-county edition needs all its relevant locations recognised. The geographical and musical descriptions together offer a clearer account than either one in isolation.
