About Heart Kent
Heart brings its feel-good music to listeners across Kent, from Maidstone, Medway and Gravesend to Canterbury, Whitstable, Thanet, Ashford and Dover. For decades the county's commercial station was Invicta FM, and today Heart continues that tradition with the biggest pop songs, well-loved hits and regional news and travel. On this page you can listen to Heart in Kent live online for free.
From Invicta FM to Heart
The station launched on 1 October 1984 as Invicta Radio, later Invicta FM, broadcasting to Kent from studios in Whitstable. It was a much-loved local station for many years before its owner, Global, brought it into the Heart network as Heart Kent, on frequencies including 103.1 FM for Maidstone, Gravesham and Medway and 102.8 FM for Whitstable, with further frequencies in Thanet, Ashford and Dover. On 3 June 2019, Heart Kent merged with its sister stations in Solent, Sussex and Surrey, and the Thames Valley to form Heart South, which keeps regional news and travel for the area. Global also owns Capital, Smooth, Classic FM and LBC.
