Radio Shine 879 DAB

Shine 879 is a dance music broadcaster whose programme centres on DJ-led radio and club culture. Its DAB service reaches parts of London and the surrounding counties, with additional coverage in the Midlands. The musical identity remains the common thread across those areas, giving listeners a service organised around dance music rather than a general local news format.

Individual DJs and programmes bring different selections and presentation styles to the schedule. The broadcaster also makes material available to hear again and publishes video through its Shine TV activity. These outlets allow the personalities and musical interests behind the live programme to have a wider presence, connecting radio listening with other forms of music media.

House and garage have several distinct places in the line-up. Simon T's UK Garage Show combines old-school records with newer UKG and garage house, while Terence Kay pairs current and forthcoming house releases with a Blast From The Past feature. Charlie Favell presents uplifting house, and Danny Rhys brings a Toolroom-linked selection. Other slots include chillout with Pops UK, techno with Mart Bee and Dynamix's Midweek Mixdown, which spans house, drum and bass, garage and older anthems. The dance brief therefore changes emphasis with each DJ.

Club nights and boat parties form part of Shine's published events history, linking the broadcast service with places where its audience meets around music. Its website brings together programme information, events and coverage details. Shine 879 is aimed at people who want a sustained dance soundtrack and a connection with the DJs and social activity associated with that musical scene.
