At midday on the 28th of September 2023, Chelmsford’s airwaves welcomed something fresh, exciting, and full of promise — City Sound Radio. More than just a new station, it marked the start of a dream years in the making. With the push of a button, a vision became reality: to give Chelmsford its very own community-driven radio station.
A Dream Turned Into Sound
Launching City Sound Radio wasn’t just about switching on the microphones. It was the beginning of a mission to create a platform where local voices, local music, and local stories could take centre stage. Every song played and every voice heard since that first broadcast has been another step in writing Chelmsford’s newest chapter in broadcasting history.
For the team behind the station, those first hours felt electric — the culmination of hard work, passion, and a belief that Chelmsford deserved a radio station that truly reflected its community.
Chelmsford at the Heart of the Station
City Sound Radio is built on a simple but powerful idea: put Chelmsford first. From the playlists to the presenters, the focus is on creating an inclusive, engaging audio experience where every listener feels part of the family.
Whether it’s supporting local musicians, sharing community news, or simply playing the songs that brighten someone’s day, the station is dedicated to giving Chelmsford a voice on the airwaves.
Your Station, Your Sound
What makes City Sound Radio unique is its commitment to its listeners. This isn’t just a station broadcasting to Chelmsford — it’s a station that grows with Chelmsford. Every request, every suggestion, and every bit of feedback helps shape the sound and future of the station.
By tuning in, you’re not just a listener — you’re part of a community that’s helping to write the story of Chelmsford’s newest radio station.
Looking Ahead
Though still in its early days, City Sound Radio is already becoming part of the city’s cultural heartbeat. With ambitions to showcase even more local talent, expand its line-up of shows, and deepen its ties with the community, the future is bright.
As Chelmsford grows and evolves, so will its station — and City Sound Radio will be there every step of the way, amplifying voices, sharing stories, and filling the city with sound.
