New stuff at CSR

After a long period of renovation work, Studio 1 is now back up and running again and CSR is sounding better than ever before!

We have an all-new breakfast show with Simon Kelsey every weekday morning from 6am and Richard Smith continues on the Student Breakfast Monday-Wednesday, whilst Iain Kiy takes over every Thursday morning from 8.

Gavin Blunt returns with the Saturday Siesta every Saturday from 2pm whilst Ricky and Ollie are in the driving seat every Sunday morning from 9, followed by Iain Kiy from 12, whilst Darco and Outlaw bring the the best in drum & bass from 7pm.

And if you’re in to your new music, BBC Introducing and CSR have joined forces to bring you Kent’s newest and greatest bands every Monday evening from 7pm.

With more changes, new shows and a hotter new sound on the way, keep checking back here and at csrfm.com for updates!
