Today 58,000 tune in each week to the stations says RAJAR, the independent organisation which measures listening figures and treats both stations as just one broadcaster.

Southend Radio and Chelmsford Radio are owned by the Stockvale Group, the same company which runs Adventure Island on Southend seafront.
