Angel Radio Gold

Angel Radio Gold is an oldies station covering music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The broadcaster created it to complement the original Angel Radio, which reaches further back into vintage popular music, and Swinging Radio 60s, which concentrates on one decade. Gold therefore occupies a clear place in the family rather than duplicating the existing Angel service.

Its range moves from rock and roll and classic crooners through pop and Motown to disco and glam rock. Those examples describe the breadth of the era without fixing the station to a permanent list of artists or records. The emphasis is on memorable songs and the cultural changes across three decades, giving listeners a continuous journey through post-war popular music as it developed into the sounds of the 1970s.

David Godfray presents the weekday breakfast period, with Rus Ison and Jacqui Ivemy following through the morning and lunchtime. Paul McNally and Chris Wright take the afternoon into early evening before James Beckingham and Pete Edgeler. Weekend voices include Simon Jupp, Ash Elford and Duncan Barkes. This substantial presented schedule complements the three-decade repertoire and gives the station a different rhythm from an entirely uninterrupted oldies channel.

Angel Radio Gold is available to listeners in the Portsmouth area on digital radio as well as through online and smart-speaker options. The station's programme schedule can change, but its relationship with the other Angel brands and its 1950-to-1979 musical span are stable. It is the appropriate choice for listeners who want a broader golden-oldies service than the original vintage format or the narrower all-1960s companion.
