Made in Kent Radio was founded five years ago by presenter and producer Matt James. It launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to support local businesses and provide county-focused content.

In 2024, the station moved into Bluewater Shopping Centre to strengthen its presence across Kent.

Now joining the Greenwich Media family, which also runs Maritime Radio, Made In Kent Radio is extending its community broadcasting work across the county while maintaining Made in Kent Radio’s local identity.

A Greenwich Media spokesperson said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Made in Kent Radio into the Greenwich Media family.”  They added that the organisation is “committed to continuing that legacy” and plans to “invest in the brand, grow its reach on DAB, and ensure it remains a powerful voice for local people.”

The station will broadcast music from the 1980s to today, alongside local news and features.

Plans are in place to reintroduce the Media Academy to support young people developing broadcasting skills across Kent.
