KentOnline in motion

If you travel on Southeastern trains in the county, you may have noticed that there's now a free on-board entertainment and information system for passengers called Southeastern Motion. KM Media Group now supplies the local news feed for this service. We’re monitoring this but it will hopefully mean we’re bringing KentOnline to an even larger audience.

Kent Messenger County Edition

We recently launched the County Edition of “Kent Messenger”. This is available across the whole of Kent and the publication offers countywide news and the best stories across the county. You can advertise in the County Edition of the paper as an addition to any series bookings that you make.

kmfm Audiences

The latest audience figures for kmfm show another big increase in listeners as well as the amount of time that they spend listening. There are now 189,000 people listening each week! The breakfast show with Garry and Laura goes from strength to strength and over 110,000 people tune in to listen each week….. Kmfm is the only radio station that is produced entirely in Kent - for the people of Kent.

All of our competitions, promotions and events are targeted solely at Kent and - coupled with the brilliant music on offer - is probably one of the reasons why kmfm is growing. Here’s our £1000 Friday winner from 26th October. https://audioboom.com/posts/7062603-amanda-clarke-brings-the-studio-to-tears-whilst-winning-1000-friday-in-october

We offer packages with kmfm localised to one of seven transmitter areas across the county so you can advertise locally to customers in easy reach of your business. Get in touch if you would like to know more.
