    Tuesday 26th September marked 365 days of Broadcasting on the new Blackpool multiplex

    Founded in Summer 2023, Coastal began officially broadcasting at 6am on Monday 26th September 2022 with a message from the stations founder and managing director Paula Davies, who thanked everyone for "their support" as she launched this new station. 

    The stations flagship Breakfast show was assumed by Ged & Hayley, who previously worked on Radio Wave's Breakfast show together for nearly a decade. The mid-morning show is looked after by another former breakfast presenter, Scott Gallagher, who took over Radio Wave Breakfast with Hayley Kay when Ged departed the station in 2017. 

    The station celebrated it's 1st birthday with a special live broadcast from Blackpool Tower, accompanied by members of the public and key figures in Coastal's success such as Aaron Duijkers, Hayley Kay and Ian Hooper.
