Heart Essex Launches

Essex FM becomes HeartToday, Monday the 22nd June 2009, Essex FM was replaced by “Heart”, taking the total of Heart-branded stations in the UK to 33, and adding networked daytime programming from London.

The station re-launched at 6am – first track was Janet Jackson, The Best Things in Life are Free.

Here’s a short extract from today’s 6am launch: Heart Essex Relaunch 2.1 Meg MP3.

Below is a picture of the main Heart Essex studio in Glebe Road, Chelmsford, rebranded with Heart.
