WOW Blackpool WBPL is a local station built around Blackpool identity, using the strapline “Radio As Blackpool As You Are”. Its public footprint is fairly lean, but the positioning is clear: a Blackpool-focused radio service with a classic, familiar sound rather than a hard-edged specialist format. The station fits naturally alongside other local Blackpool and Lancashire radio options for listeners who want music and local flavour from the Fylde Coast.
Musically, WOW Blackpool WBPL sits in the adult contemporary, classic hits and oldies space. That gives it an easy local-radio feel: familiar songs, recognisable eras, broad appeal and a lighter entertainment style. It is the kind of station that makes sense for listeners who want Blackpool radio without needing a narrow genre lane, especially if they prefer older pop, classic chart music and accessible daytime listening.
WOW Blackpool WBPL is also part of the newer small-scale DAB story around Blackpool, where extra local and niche services have been able to appear alongside online streams. That matters because Blackpool has a strong radio heritage, but the local landscape changed after older commercial services were absorbed into bigger networks. WOW Blackpool WBPL gives the town another station name with a direct Blackpool identity, which is the whole point of the page.
Notable Presenters & Shows
The publicly available Broadcast.Radio player for WOW Blackpool WBPL lists Neil at Breakfast, Simon Tate with the 208 Chart, and Night time. Public Facebook snippets also mention Radio Luxembourg Top 20 reconstructions after The Neil Sexton show, which fits the station’s oldies and classic-radio flavour. I would keep the wording modest here: the available public data confirms a few show names, but not a deep verified presenter biography section.
