Wondering if anyone can help here... I'm presently trying to apply for a job at SCR in Guildford, and to do so actually listening to the Surrey Breakfast show would be a good idea. Unfortunately my radio doesn't pick up the signal from the middle of Mid Sussex and iPlayer seems to only let me listen to the Sussex stuff. Does anyone know a way round this?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Our house is up for sale and we'll provide a pre-tuned radio on the day of completion.

The Guildford transmitter uses 104.6, but in Mid Sussex that might be drowned out by the Heathfield stuff on 104.5

Just force your radio to tune into the Surrey frequencies, 104.0 and 104.6 I think. Might be a bit crackly but you'll be able to hear it.

You need high ground - Ditchling Beacon will do it - not far from Hurstpierpoint

Tried that, I can't. Having dug a bit further they say it's not actually available online, so it might well be a case of jumping in the car!

When driving to Withdean I can usually pick-up the Guildford output OK until I get to Cowfold/Bolney on the A272.

If you're serious, how about getting an FM antenna, only cost a few quid

SERIOUSLY!
If you have an iPod and the radio add-on you should be able to get it. I live in Guildford (warning-you do NOT want to listen to the dross they spew out) and for Albion games that I don't go to I listen in to SCR's Sussex broadcast on my iPod radio so I can listen to the game. Might work in reverse for you...
Also, why not listen on-line? I think their 'listen now' thing only features the Surrey broadcast. Probably wrong on that but that's how it was a while ago.

Thanks for all your help guys, SCR say you can't get it online so they send out a CD with some of the relevant show on it for people who can't listen. Although I may well head over the border to Surrey to do some myself anyway.
Also, Nemesis - I take your point but they pay a lot more money than any other radio station round here!

When I used to apply for jobs at local radio stations, (in the days before streaming on the internet, me laddo!) I used to have to set off early in the morning so I could listen to their breakfast shows.
Was on the way to Guildford once when I had to emergency stop in front of a turning car. Clutch cable snapped, 400 quid bill, and I was three hours late for the interview. Didn't get the job either.
