Fiesta FM stands out because it is not trying to be another bland local stream with no identity. The station is built around Southampton, but it has a clear Latin heart running through it from the top down. Its own story credits founder Felix Pastor’s passion for music and for promoting Latin culture as the spark behind the station, and that gives Fiesta FM a stronger personality than a lot of weak community brands. It feels like a station with an actual point of view rather than one assembled from generic radio clichés.
The programming is broader than the name alone might suggest. Fiesta FM’s public programme pages make it clear that this is not just wall-to-wall Latin hits. The station says it carries music shows in Spanish and English from around the world, community-hour content, English and Spanish news updates, world sport, women’s sport, and discussions around LGBTQ+ and transgender topics. That matters because it gives the station real community range. It is trying to serve Southampton with music, conversation and inclusion rather than simply chasing one narrow audience lane.
Another strength is that Fiesta FM looks active in the local area rather than trapped inside its own studio. Its site pushes community engagement, volunteering, partnerships and event appearances, while the schedule shows a genuinely varied presenter lineup across breakfast, drive, specialist music, football and late-night programming. For a Southampton community radio page, that is the angle worth leaning into: Fiesta FM combines a distinctive Latin identity with a wider local-community role, and that makes it more interesting than a basic local playlist station.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Paul Baker — The Fiesta Breakfast Show / Weekend Breakfast: Paul Baker is one of the station’s key daytime voices, fronting The Fiesta Breakfast Show on weekday mornings and Weekend Breakfast on Sundays, giving Fiesta FM a consistent accessible start to the day.
- Felix Pastor — Latin Lovers: Founder Felix Pastor presents Latin Lovers, a Wednesday afternoon show built around romantic Latin music, mashups and mixes, and it is one of the clearest expressions of the station’s Latin identity.
- Jonathan Newell — Friday Fiesta / Drive Time on Fiesta: Jonathan Newell hosts Friday Fiesta and Friday Drive Time, bringing more than three decades of commercial, hospital and community radio experience to the station’s Friday output.
- Greg Dickson — Reggae Roots / The Velocity Wessex League Football Show: Greg Dickson is both a presenter and director at Fiesta FM, with publicly listed shows including Reggae Roots and The Velocity Wessex League Football Show, giving the station both music depth and local sport credibility.
- Fragile Lucy — The Ukulele Radio Show: Fragile Lucy presents The Ukulele Radio Show, a specialist programme that mixes tunes from the 1920s to the present day, interviews and occasional live studio performances.
