Radio stations in Devon

Devon includes two major urban audiences, coastal communities and inland towns. An edition serving Exeter is not automatically the same service as one directed to Plymouth, even if both are relevant to a Devon category. A programme might also address the wider county. These differences in intended area should be based on the broadcaster's named edition and programme, not on where a network show happens to be produced. The county name does not determine whether a station plays contemporary pop, familiar favourites or offers discussion. Each service's content needs its own explanation alongside geography. Devon also lies within the broader South West, so a service for the whole region has a different remit from a city programme within the county. A network station may share presenters elsewhere and still maintain a distinct feed for one Devon audience. The county category holds those related but different local identities together without pretending they are interchangeable.
