Listeners across Kent are in for a treat this Bank Holiday Monday as Made In Kent Radio officially launches at 7am, bringing a brand‑new local voice to the airwaves. The station joins the Greenwich Media family—home of Maritime Radio, which already serves south east London and north west Kent.
The first voice on air will be Matt James, who kicks things off with the brand‑new Made In Kent Breakfast. Expect great music, local stories, and everything happening across the county as the station begins its mission to celebrate Kent’s people, places and culture.
The launch comes as Kent prepares for a sunny Bank Holiday, with warm weather expected to draw thousands to the county’s beaches and seaside towns. From Whitstable to Broadstairs, Margate to Dymchurch, tourism businesses are gearing up for one of the busiest weekends of the year.
Greenwich Media says the new station will shine a spotlight on the best of Kent—its communities, its coastline, its creativity, and its independent businesses.
“We’re thrilled to bring Made In Kent Radio to life,” Matt James, managing editor of Made Kent Radio said. “It’s a station made for Kent, about Kent, and proudly rooted in the county’s identity.”
Listeners can tune in on digital radio, online, on smart speakers, and via the Made In Kent Radio app.
With sunshine on the way and a brand‑new station hitting the airwaves, it’s shaping up to be a Bank Holiday full of good vibes across Kent and south east London.
