Radio stations in Kent

Kent includes coastal communities, towns and areas with different connections to London. A station intended for listeners across the county has a different geographic purpose from a programme for one town or a wider South East audience. A named county edition may include network shows without losing its Kent identity. The important evidence is the audience addressed by that edition, not a transmitter location or an occasional mention of the county on a national programme. Kent radio can take several forms. A current-hits schedule and a melodic familiar-song format serve different listening preferences even if both are offered in the same area. Descriptions should make that difference clear while preserving the county connection. A service aimed across Kent should not be narrowed to Canterbury or any other single place without support from its programme. Conversely, a UK-wide feed should not be added as a Kent edition only because it is readily available there.
