Zest is a Liverpool-based local station built around a bright, upbeat music format. Its official site calls it “The Big Hit Station” and describes the sound as fresh and upbeat, with current releases sitting alongside regular retro classics. That gives Zest a clear listener promise: feel-good hits, familiar throwbacks and a radio sound made for Liverpool and the wider North West.

The station launched on DAB in April 2017 and has built its identity around Liverpool while reaching beyond the city. Public listening information describes coverage across Liverpool, Chester, Southport, Warrington, Wirral, Widnes, Runcorn and North Wales, with online and smart speaker listening widening that reach further. Musically, Zest sits around pop, dance, R&B, Top 40, electro-pop and retro hits, so it has more energy than a plain adult contemporary station.

Zest works best as a music-led local station rather than a heavy speech or news service. The appeal is the pace, the upbeat sound and the local Liverpool branding. For listeners who want something more lively than background oldies but less narrow than a specialist dance station, Zest gives Radio Player UK a strong North West option with a clear identity and a broad, accessible playlist.

Notable Presenters & Shows

Zest’s current public site does not expose a clean full presenter roster, so do not invent one. Public station listings and social snippets have linked the station with presenters and names including Jeff Nolan on Zest Breakfast, plus Chris Blumer, Mike Peters, Joe Hollywood, Sie Austin and Dan Roach. Because schedules can change and the official site is limited, the safest copy is to describe Zest as a music-led station with presenter-led breakfast and daytime output, rather than claiming a fixed full current line-up.

• Jeff Nolan: Linked with Zest Breakfast in public Zest social snippets, bringing the station’s upbeat Liverpool sound into the morning schedule.
