SGR Colchester is a radio station broadcasting to Colchester in the United Kingdom. The station was launched in 1993 by the East Anglian Radio group, which also operated the Ipswich-based SGR fm, Radio Broadland in Norwich, and Amber Radio across Suffolk and Norfolk.
SGR Colchester, serving a population of around 150,000, broadcast programmes from its studios in the town during daytime (6am-7pm) but shared output from its larger sister SGR station in Ipswich at other times.
The Colchester station was an immediate success and quickly built an impressive audience locally. Staff in the early years included Mike Stewart (programme director), Danny Cox (station manager), and presenters Nick Jackson and Simon Taylor.
It became part of the GWR Group (now Global Radio) when East Anglian Radio was taken over in 1996.
