Westside Radio (formerly Westside 89.6 FM) and stylised WESTSIDE, is a community radio station based in Hanwell, London. Westside broadcasts locally on 89.6 FM, to wider London on DAB, and online. The station specialises in hip hop, R&B, grime, and urban music.[1]

History

Westside launched on 13 September 2007 after being awarded a community radio licence from Ofcom to serve the community of Ealing from its base in Southall.[2] The station was officially opened by Boris Johnson, then a candidate for Mayor of London, who attended the launch event and cut the ribbon at the station’s West London studios.[3]

Westside is recognised as a platform for developing talent. Over nearly two decades, the station has launched the careers of numerous presenters, DJs, and producers who have progressed onto major UK broadcasting stations, digital media, and other creative industries.[4][5]

On 17 November 2025, Westside launched on DAB on the City West Digital (West London) and South of the River Digital Radio (South London) multiplexes.[6]
