EAST KENT RADIO -
Nine months ago, in October 2024, the very successful Oldies Paradise and Easy Rock Paradise internet radio projects came to an end. The decision to close the stations was tough, but it had to be made. Firstly for financial reasons and secondly because the EKR Project was about to rapidly expand over the coming 18 months.
During 2024, EKR became aware that the bid they were involved with for a number of DAB Multiplexes across Kent had been successful. In the near future, that will mean that there will be EKR Stations available to hear across Kent and in parts of Essex on DAB.
The end result was that, the very popular Easy Rock Paradise music format and broadcasting team came over to the EKR Broadcasting Platform and Easy Rock Paradise morphed into East Kent Radio. We would like to say a very big thank you to Peter Leutner, the owner of EKR, for giving Easy Rock Paradise the chance to fully join the EKR Broadcasting Platform.
Thank you for your patience over the past 9 months, that was much appreciated. A lot of Easy Paradise listeners have now followed us to East Kent Radio. But, we need to get the message across to the remainder. We would like to ask you to do your fellow radio listeners (and us!) a favour by passing on this information to them and then directing them to the EKR Website at ekr.net or to the Listen page on this site which has all the information necessary for them to tune in.
Thank you again for your continued support.
