Angel Radio has a very clear identity. It is built around nostalgia, older music and friendly conversation, which gives it a sound that is very different from stations chasing current charts or trying too hard to sound busy. If you like radio that feels calm, familiar and full of character, Angel Radio knows exactly what it is doing.

The station has deep roots on the Isle of Wight. Its history goes back through earlier short-term broadcasts before the full community licence for Angel Radio Isle of Wight on 91.5 FM, with official station history saying regular licensed broadcasting on the island began in March 2007. That gives the station genuine local history rather than the thin feel of a throwaway online stream.

Angel Radio is also shaped by a proper community-radio mindset. The station's own history and fundraising pages make it clear that this is an independent local operation run with a team of presenters, office staff and library volunteers, based in Cowes and serving the island with a very recognisable style.

What listeners get is a station centred on vintage and nostalgic music, specialist features, spoken-word favourites, archive material and presenter-led shows that suit the pace and character of the format. It is a station for people who want warmth, memory, personality and proper old-style radio rather than endless noise.

• Geoff Porter: A familiar voice on the weekday schedule, Geoff Porter appears regularly in the morning line-up with music and presenter-led radio.
