Dee 106.3 has been part of the Chester radio scene for years and still does something a lot of local stations have stopped doing properly: it sounds local. The station serves Chester and the surrounding area with a mainstream music mix, but the real value is the local layer around it. News, sport, competitions, community features and regional conversation give it a stronger identity than a faceless jukebox feed.

Musically, Dee 106.3 sits in a broad familiar-hits lane, drawing from the 80s, 90s, 00s and current tracks. That makes it accessible, but it is the live daytime structure that gives the station shape. Breakfast, afternoon and drive programming are all fronted by named presenters, while weekends add more sport and specialist local content. For listeners in Chester, that makes it feel more useful and more relevant than a national station pretending to care about the area.

Another strength is the station’s local coverage beyond music. Dee 106.3 carries local news, regular Chester FC-related sport content and community-focused features that tie the brand back to real life in Chester and Cheshire. That matters. A local station should not just mention the town every now and then and call it a day. Dee 106.3 has a proper local footprint, and that is still its biggest asset.

Notable shows & presenters are:

• Gavin Matthews – The Breakfast Show: Gavin Matthews hosts the weekday Breakfast Show, the station’s main morning programme, airing Monday to Friday from 6am to 10am.
• Daz Antrobus – Afternoon Show: Daz Antrobus fronts the weekday afternoon slot, keeping the station live and local through the middle of the day.
• Ruth Pollard – Live & Local Show: Ruth Pollard presents the Live & Local Show, a key part of Dee 106.3’s weekday and Sunday schedule with a stronger local focus.
• Dave Phillips – Sunday Daytime Show: Dave Phillips hosts the Sunday Daytime Show and is one of the station’s established on-air names.
• Mike Peters – Weekend Breakfast: Mike Peters presents Weekend Breakfast, giving Dee 106.3 a live local start on Sunday mornings.
• Steve Lord – Friday Night Football Show: Steve Lord is part of the Friday Night Football Show, reflecting the station’s ongoing commitment to local sport and Chester FC coverage.
