Public Information File

Each local commercial radio station in the UK has requirements in respect of its music and local content, such as news etc. These requirements are set out in the station "Format", a document issued by Ofcom, the UK media regulator.

 

The Public File contains details of elements Ofcom regulate over, such as music tracks, local news etc. It is intended to give you a better understanding of our output and what we are doing for the community we serve.

The Public File is available as a print out on request. Any comments on the file can be made to us or Ofcom.

News Bulletins

We broadcast news bulletins 24 hours a day on the hour, every hour (except during special events or shows).

Weekdays - we provide local news bulletins from 06:00 until 18:00 including half-hour bulletins in breakfast (6/7/8 am).

Saturday and Sunday - we provide local news bulletins from 08:00 until 14:00. This weekend material, having been researched, produced and written in West Sussex may, on occasion, be read from elsewhere. At all other times we carry national and international news on the hour from Sky News.
