Coastal Radio DAB

Coastal Radio DAB serves Blackpool and the Fylde coast, combining music from several decades with local news, sport, weather and community information. Its programmes originate from studios at Media House on Church Street in Blackpool. The service is built around the area rather than a single specialist genre, with presented daytime entertainment and coverage of subjects relevant to people living along the coast.

Ged and Hayley present breakfast, Greg Burns hosts daytime programmes and Scott Gallagher takes the drivetime slot. Gallagher's features include Fylde's Fab Five at Five and a musical generation game. Norry Ascroft's evening selection includes local music among records from the past five decades, while Andy Mitchell's Decades revisits the 1970s and 1980s. Luke Abbass is a weekend breakfast voice.

Support for musicians from Blackpool, Wyre and the Fylde is a defined part of the station's output. Local recordings can appear within the general playlist, including the programmes hosted by Burns and Gallagher. Ian Hooper's That Upbeat Thing has a particular focus on performers from the local circuit, providing a more concentrated space for those artists alongside their appearances in the broader schedule.

The station also supports charities through on-air announcements, event coverage and community information. Its events calendar and Charity Action strand connect entertainment with activities happening nearby, while local news sits alongside the main national stories and sports headlines. Coastal Radio consequently offers both familiar presenter-led music and a route into the area's own cultural life, from local bands to organisations raising awareness of their work.
