Automated Programming

Southend Radio 105.1 is proud to claim more live and locally produced programming than most commercial radio stations. However, our output is automated (meaning no live presenter), between 10pm - 6am every day.

On Saturday our output from 6am to 6pm is live and locally produced.

On Sunday our output from 8am to 7pm is live and locally produced.

All programmes are locally made, apart from The Weekend Vibe on Saturday 7pm - 10pm, provided by Blue Revolution.

Station Playlist

Southend Radio plays a carefully selected playlist of new and recent music, as music from the past six years cannot form more than 15% of our output.

For all playlist and programming enquiries please contact:

James O'Neill, Programme Controller, email james.oneill@southendradio.com
