Great news from Phoenix FM!

We’ve been awarded £11,000 to deliver Essex Voices: Stories from Our Communities — a creative radio and podcast project empowering local people across Essex to share their own stories on air.

From free workshops to broadcasts and community listening events, this project is all about connection, inclusion and celebrating local life.

Launching April 2026 🎙️

If you missed Vicki Michelle's first new show of 2026 you can hear it again on our website!

We're pleased to announce that we've been given the green light to expand our terrestrial broadcast area, and that you can now hear us from DAB from Southend to Stratford as well as 98.0FM in Brentwood and Billericay.

We're still based in Brentwood but our presenters can now reach THREE MILLION people instead of 200,000!

After many, many long years on air we finally introduced the Phoenix FM chart this year.

Congratulations to Cliffords, Alex Hopkins, Karis Taylor, Bugeye and Sophie Griffiths who all made it into the Chart of the Year! (And also into our column in the Brentwood Gazette)

90% of all adults in the UK listen to the radio every single week.[1]
