This is The Coast is a local radio station serving the Yorkshire coastal areas of Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and Bridlington.
History
This is The Coast launched in October 2020 to provide a local radio service for the Yorkshire Coast after the area's previous local station, Yorkshire Coast Radio, became part of a national radio network.[1][2]
Initially the station launched online and smart speakers before obtaining an Ofcom DAB licence later in the month.[3]
Programming
The station produces all of its programmes locally with presenter led programming broadcast from 6 am to 10 pm on weekdays and from 8 am to 6 pm at the weekend.
Local presenters include Paddy Billington, Tom Hooper, Mike Nicholson, Darren Lethem, Tom Ironside, Gareth Webb and Chris Johnson.[4][5]
News
This is The Coast broadcasts hourly news bulletins, with headlines on the half-hour during weekday breakfast.
The bulletins have a strong local focus with a team of in-house journalists also producing content for the station's website and smartphone app. The news team consists of Matthew Pells, Shaun Moore and Andrew Snaith.
National material is provided by Sky News Radio.
Transmission
This is the Coast can be heard on DAB+ across North Yorkshire on the Muxco multiplex.[6]
The station extended its coverage in March 2024 by joining the Muxco Lincolnshire & Humberside DAB multiplex [7]
The station is also available online, on its own smartphone apps and on smart speakers.[8]
