I have just been reading some of the radio industry news on radiotoday.co.uk, and have found it interesting that from March 30th, BBC Southern Counties Radio will be split in to two: creating BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey.
A spokesman from BBC Southern Counties said: “For a long time we have been working hard to make our programmes and news bulletins even more local with dedicated programmes in Sussex and Surrey, so we now feel that the name Southern Counties doesnt fully describe what we do. The ethos of the station will stay exactly the same to entertain our listeners, brighten their day and tell them everything they need to know about life in Sussex or Surrey”
