Hello Worthing! How are you? We know it's been a while but we still believe our town deserves better radio coverage and we'll have some news in early 2023.

In the meantime if you know of any Worthing charities or non-profit making organisations who'd benefit from a bit of free Christmas publicity this might be of interest from our colleagues at Christmas Music Radio , a non-profit station which launches on Digital Radio in Brighton, Hove and Worthing on Monday.

Christmas Music Radio exists to help charities in our area. Our prominent position on the digital radio dial means we're in cars, shops, and homes across the South in the run up to Christmas 2022.
