      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listeners across Kent are in for a treat this Bank Holiday Monday as <strong>Made In Kent Radio</strong> officially launches at <strong>7am</strong>, bringing a brand‑new local voice to the airwaves. The station joins the <strong>Greenwich Media</strong> family&mdash;home of <strong>Maritime Radio</strong>, which already serves south east London and north west Kent.</p>

<p>The first voice on air will be <strong>Matt James</strong>, who kicks things off with the brand‑new <strong>Made In Kent Breakfast</strong>. Expect great music, local stories, and everything happening across the county as the station begins its mission to celebrate Kent&rsquo;s people, places and culture.</p>

<p>The launch comes as Kent prepares for a sunny Bank Holiday, with warm weather expected to draw thousands to the county&rsquo;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.</p>

<p>Greenwich Media says the new station will shine a spotlight on the best of Kent&mdash;its communities, its coastline, its creativity, and its independent businesses.</p>

<p><strong>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re thrilled to bring Made In Kent Radio to life,&rdquo;</strong> Matt James, managing editor of Made Kent Radio said. <strong>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a station made for Kent, about Kent, and proudly rooted in the county&rsquo;s identity.&rdquo;</strong></p>

<p>Listeners can tune in on digital radio, online, on smart speakers, and via the Made In Kent Radio app.</p>

<p>With sunshine on the way and a brand‑new station hitting the airwaves, it&rsquo;s shaping up to be a Bank Holiday full of good vibes across Kent and south east London.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listeners across the county can now listen to Kent&#39;s freshest local radio station.</p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p><img alt="" src="https://mmo.aiircdn.com/1353/69a4177d335c1.jpg" style="" /></p>

<p>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&rsquo;s local identity.</p>

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

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