Manx Radio AM is part of the Isle of Man’s national public service broadcaster and has deeper roots than most local radio services around the British Isles. Manx Radio first went on air in June 1964, and the AM side of the operation has long been part of how the station serves the Island with coverage that goes beyond straightforward music radio. That history still matters because the AM service is not just a duplicate stream; it exists to carry programming that has a clear public-service purpose as well as entertainment.
According to Manx Radio’s own listening information, the AM network is primarily used for alternative programming such as Manx Radio TT, Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling coverage, Tynwald broadcasts, House of Keys Question Time, Manx language output and other opt-outs from the main FM service. When there is no separate choice being provided, programming from the main station can also be heard on 1368. That gives the AM stream a practical role for listeners who want access to coverage that is more specifically tied to Manx public life, culture and major events.
The current weekday AM schedule also shows that the service has a defined day-to-day sound of its own. Overnight it carries The Golden Nightshift, Andy Wint fronts the breakfast show from 7am, and the daytime output leans into classic hits programming under titles such as The GOLDEN Hour, Retro Golden Hits and Greatest Hits on Earth. The service then switches gear when needed for more distinctive programming, which is exactly why the AM feed still feels useful rather than just leftover legacy radio.
Notable Presenters & Shows: Andy Wint hosts The Andy Wint Breakfast Show on the AM service each weekday from 7am to 10am, and he is also one of the best-known voices on Manx Radio through Mannin Line. Bob Carswell presents Traa dy Liooar on Monday evenings, a key part of the station’s Manx Gaelic output. Ian Cottier is associated with the long-running Time for Brass, while Paul Moran is one of the station’s established sport voices through Saturday Live. Ben Hartley is also closely tied to the wider Manx Radio and Gold output, including Hartley’s Record Bag and breakfast presentation across the station family.
