BBC Essex is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Essex. It broadcasts from its studios in Chelmsford on 103.5 (Great Braxted), 95.3 (South Benfleet) FM and DAB.
The strongest signal by far is 103.5 FM, which comes from a transmitter north-east of Chelmsford close to the A12. It reaches into Hertfordshire. The 95.3FM signal is heard in most of the southern Thames Estuary as well. The South Benfleet transmitter also provides Essex FM on 96.3FM.
From 7pm until 1am each weekday, BBC Essex shares programming with the rest of the BBC local radio in the BBC Look East area.
