===Former stations===
*[[BBC Dorset FM]]
*[[BBC Radio Durham]]
*[[BBC Southern Counties Radio]]
*[[BBC Thames Valley FM]]

The stations were launched progressively; starting with BBC Radio Leicester on 8 November 1967, with the last station to launch being the short-lived [[BBC Dorset FM]] on 26 April 1993. Since then, many stations have been merged and renamed but no new stations have been created where no service previously existed, as plans to launch stations in unserved areas, most notably in [[Cheshire]], have not materialised.
