This is the Coast is one of the clearest examples of a modern local radio station doing the job properly. It serves the Yorkshire Coast with local news, weather, travel, events, interviews, sport and music, but the important bit is focus: Scarborough, Filey, Whitby, Bridlington and the coastal communities are not treated as an afterthought.

The station launched to give the Yorkshire Coast a strong local media voice, with DAB, smart speaker and online listening alongside a busy digital news service. Its output is built around the things people actually need from a local station: what is happening nearby, what is changing, where the traffic problems are, what events are coming up, and which local stories matter today.

This is the Coast also has a strong presenter-led feel, with familiar voices across breakfast, daytime, drive, evenings and weekends. The station’s local connection is its biggest weapon. It is not just playing songs over a coastal postcode; it talks about the area, covers local football and events, supports local journalism, and gives the Yorkshire Coast a station that sounds like it belongs there.

  • Paddy: Hosts weekday breakfast from 6am to 10am and Saturday 12pm to 2pm, with local interviews, the Mystery Sound, School Run Fun, Celebration Station and the 9 @ 9 mystery year feature.
