Local and regional stations

BBC Local Radio

BBC National Regional Radio

Commercial

(The 'name' of a local station is often ambiguous as, for example, the station known locally as 'Q103' is variously known as 'Q103 FM' or 'Cambridge's Q103' 'Cambridge's Q103 FM'. Where possible the naming used in the Commercial Radio Companies Association has been followed. Redirects will inevitably be necessary. Also, many local stations infact now broadcast all over the UK via their internet web sites.)
