About This Station

Gen X Radio is a local commercial radio station based in Ipswich, serving Suffolk across the UK on DAB+, smart speakers and online. Broadcasting 24 hours a day, it offers a personality-led, feel-good mix of classic hits and adult contemporary music spanning the 60s through to today, alongside local news, travel updates, weather and what's-on information. The station is proudly local, with presenters who live in and know Suffolk, and describes its music policy as playing songs people love, remember and cherish. A notable recent feature is its search for Suffolk's greatest album of the 1970s, with listeners voting and presenter Matt Boorman revealing the results on Bank Holiday Monday. All programming is in English, with a strong emphasis on local talk, community voices and an uplifting, authentic connection to the county.
