Radio Belfast 89FM

Belfast 89 is a community station for Greater Belfast and the Lagan Valley, with classic popular music at the centre of its programme. It began broadcasting on 30 June 2015 and added DAB+ in 2024, extending its reach towards Lisburn and the Lagan Valley. Local volunteers present the service alongside its 89.3 FM broadcasts.

The station identifies particularly with music of the sixties and seventies. Its recent selection has included The Beatles' Ticket to Ride, Them's Gloria, T. Rex's Get It On, ABBA's Waterloo and David Bowie's Starman. Blondie's Heart of Glass adds another example of the established records around which its classic-hits format is built.

Mike Allen, Dessie Flood and Shona Wilson are among the breakfast voices. Lisa Flavelle and Paul Dean contribute to mid-morning programming, while Stephen Andrews is part of the drive line-up. The schedule also includes Jukebox Lunch, which concentrates on back-to-back records between the presented daytime shows.

Specialist and weekend programmes provide further individual identities. Mark Boylan presents Soul Sequence, David Erskine hosts the Sunday Social Show and Trevor Kelly presents Saturday Classics. Olga Murtagh's Sunday Classics and Paddy Smyth's weekend breakfast add other regular appointments. This combination of familiar songs and a substantial local presenting team connects the station's nostalgic music policy with a community-made radio service for Belfast and its surrounding area. The station marked its tenth anniversary in 2025.
