Radio Seahaven FM

Seahaven FM is a not-for-profit local station serving coastal East Sussex and neighbouring communities. Its area includes Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven, Eastbourne, Lewes, Hastings and Bexhill. Mainly run by local volunteers, it combines melodic chart music from the 1950s onwards with programmes about the people, interests and activities of the area.

Peter Quinn presents breakfast, Nick Mallinson's morning programme includes the Mystery Tune and John Noble hosts lunchtime. Clive Mellor presents drivetime, while Kevin Green contributes an early-morning programme. These familiar daytime voices are accompanied by records spanning eight decades, with older favourites and newer selections sharing the playlist.

Local subjects receive dedicated space. Kathy Harding presents Community People, Henry Young covers libraries and books, and Jason Payne contributes gardening knowledge. Sally Markwell's Healthy Talk brings in people providing and using health-support services. David Crozier talks with creative people from the community, while Tanieth Kerr contributes stage and screen reporting alongside presenting Afternoon T.

Musical interests also shape individual programmes: Norman Baker shares vinyl selections, Joel Stewart explores music from around the world and Tony Ayers presents The Organic Radio Show. Seahaven's development began with an idea in 2006 and temporary broadcasts in 2008, before the full-time FM launch in January 2011. Expansion into Eastbourne followed in 2020, and a Hastings DAB+ licence was awarded in 2026. The broader reach retains the station's original emphasis on local voices and East Sussex life.
