There's one big thing that sets Forest Radio apart from our competition. We do it all for free. From the very beginning our aim was to create a radio station we would want to listen to. Twenty four years later Forest Radio is the fastest growing internet radio station in Essex. But in order for us to continue playing the good time oldies we need your help.
