Hello, I’m Anastasia Debono. I volunteer at the best community radio station in the greatest city in the world. Adelaide born and bred just like Frog Cakes, I’m a long time Coast FM listener, completed Coast FM’s presenter’s course in 2019 and have been passionately producing programs ever since. When I’m on-air I like to play easy listening classics and Vegas lounge favourites by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin. I enjoy playing vinyl records both at home and at the station.I love Johnny O’Keefe, MotoGP, Eurovision, Elvis movies, my dog. Keep supporting Adelaide’s 88.7 Coast FM. It’s the intelligent choice for the music lover, and you seem like a smart cookie to me. You’re here, aren’t you? Coast FM is MY radio station and it’s YOUR radio station.

G’day Coasters! I’m Arthur Saridakis. Having joined the family of Coast FM Radio presenters, I have the privilege of playing a variety of musical entertainment for the listeners in our local radio community at Coast FM. Join me for a musical menu of Rock, Pop, and a little Dancing music each and every Tuesday from Midnight to 3 am for Tuesday’s Terrific Tunes with Arthur and let’s Rock, Pop and Bop together! Cheers!

From the age of six I have always had a deep connection with music. Growing up in a family where music was a constant presence and playing instruments and performing were the norm, I have developed an eclectic taste that spans genres and eras, from classical to modern rock, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, soul, gospel and blues to musicals and upbeat pop. I really enjoy sharing my passion for music with others. Join me on 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM for “The Midnight Special”, airing every Thursday morning from midnight to 3am. Each week, I spotlight artists or bands, music genres or styles, themes or different aspects of music, with my diverse musical palate, stories and in depth reflections, offering some interesting, entertaining and varied listening experiences to the airwaves in the wee hours of the morning!

I host 4.00 – 6.00pm every Sunday afternoon. First introduced to Coast by my son, Chris, from early days at O’Halloran Hill, and have been a listener ever since. I am very passionate about music, and must have it in my life each day. I have been in nursing for most of my working life, and am still employed in acute nursing. I enjoy most genres of music from early ’40s to current day, but the ’50s, ’60s, country, stageand screen are my most popular. I play good varieties of these on my program and do take requests for your favourite artists/track. I love to hear from listeners and feedback is important as it lets us know what you want to hear on Coast. I am very proud to be a presenter on Coast FM and I hope to continue for many years. It’s great to be able to touch so many people in our community through our radio station and I thank you for allowing us as presenters to share your life and your day.

We have both been involved with various bands and the music scene here in SA since our teenage years and grew up with the sounds of the ’60s and ’70s. Our other love of the early ’50s eventually led us to our current passion for the raw “roots” music that is known as “Rockabilly” and it’s great to see and hear many young bands and artists from all around the world are still performing and recording this roots music in the style as it was done in the early ’50s. You can catch us on air here at Coast FM every Friday night between 6pm – 8pm on the “Boogie Shack” for 2 hours of “Red Hot” Rockabilly.

I love a wide variety of music with my favourite decades being the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. I have a bit of a soft spot for 70’s rock, and I have grown up listening to artists such as The Rollings Stones, The Cars, The Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Elton John, and one of my favourite bands of all time – The Eagles! You will often find an Eagles song or two in my program. I have been a presenter at CoastFM since May 2021, having been encouraged by fellow presenter Bob Lindow to come back to the studio after a 25 year hiatus from community radio. I enjoy playing the music that I like and connecting with the listeners in the studio, that is really fun. You can also find me serving up a snag or two at the CoastFM Mile End Bunnings BBQ once a month on a Friday. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit about me, and about Coast FM community radio.Image

Host of Those Were The Daze, Wednesday’s at noon. The music I most like to play is from the mid to late 60’s. However I don’t think there is an era or genre that does not have something to offer in great music. I arrived at CoastFM in early 2011 after 40 years as an Engineer on cargo ships. I had plenty of time to listen to music and hope that my knowledge of same is evident on air.

Bob Bobrige brings a new voice to Coast. As you can see from his profile pic this man has a lot of fun bringing you tunes. You can catch Bob filling-in on Coast FM. Professionally involved in Bands and Groups from the 60s through to the 90s and loving every minute of it. Bob particularly enjoy Country music but loves any music with a tune. Look forward to sharing my passions with the dedicated listeners of Coast FM…….. Another Bob’s worth , worth every penny!!!!!

Howdy, I’m Bob Lindow. I am a volunteer at Coast FM, and I love it. As well as doing a “day job” in the office on Thursdays, I present My Wonderful World at 2pm on Monday afternoons, where I play great music from wonderful artists such as Mark Knopfler, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, John Fogerty, Emmylou Harris, Elvis, CSNY, Paul Kelly and lots more. A little bit of country, but not too much. I also do Lets Get The Party Started on a 6 week roster on Saturday nights, playing 60s & 50s rock’n’roll records that I grew up with. It is so much fun. Please join me on air anytime, I’m sure you’ll love the music. You may even hear The Beatles (OK, I admit it – I’m a Beatles tragic!!), but I only play the tracks no-one else plays. Cheers!

I have been on-air at Coast FM since November 2012. Music has always been a large part of my life, and I enjoy researching artists and learning about their music and their life, which is very useful to add some trivia that our listeners will find entertaining and interesting. Please join me every Thursday from 4.00pm to 6.00pm on ‘THURSDAY DRIVE’, for 2 hours of bright and bouncy Pop & Rock ‘n’ Roll music from the 50’s to the 70’s. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, Del Shannon, The Beatles and all the big name British Invasion artists – you’ll hear them all, and many more, as I DRIVE you home every Thursday from 4.00pm. For more info about my program, please go to the Program Guide on the Coast FM website.

After hosting the popular Breakfast Program, Good Morning Good Morning for 13 years, Brenton and Shiona made the change to Friday Coast Magazine in March 2019. Tune in for 3 hours of fun in this program that looks outside the square. Featuring the F word ( for fun Friday ) you will enjoy music that is just a little different, Brenton’s Odd Spot, Radio Plays, Shiona’s F word for the day, lots of information on free events in our beautiful state and interviews with charities and events not in the mainstream. Listeners love the banter which obviously comes easy with 2 people comfortable with each other although Brenton does enjoy his 3 hours of power when he is in control (or so he thinks). A fun show on a fun radio station. Voted as one of the best in our great state. Tune in and enjoy community radio at its best. Adelaide’s Coast FM 88.7

Hi everybody, I’m Brenton Chappell and I’ve been with Adelaide’s 88.7 Coast FM since 2013. My interest in music began in the late 60s with a 45 rpm record called “Penny Lane” by the Beatles. This interest rapidly grew one day when I was listening to “Turn Up Your Radio” (because that’s all we had, a radio!) by the Master’s Apprentices, followed quickly by my learning to use dad’s reel to reel tape recorder for all my favourite tunes. I hope you will join me on Adelaide’s 88.7 Coast FM on alternate Fridays at 10.00pm as I provide classic rock from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Otherwise I am just playing music and I’d rather play it for you.

Hi, I’m Brian. As a baby-boomer, the music I enjoy listening to and playing on air is from the ’50s, ’60s & ’70s. My favourite artist is Bobby Darin. My involvement with Coast FM started on 31st August 2003. My biggest thrill so far has been interviewing Connie Francis (twice) and Barbara Orbison. Programming the show takes me about 3 to 4 hours (better then watching the idiot-box) and I love every minute of it. If you haven’t listened to the show yet please do so and let us know what you think as your input is very much appreciated. Catch you every Wednesday for breakfast at 6am.

Bruce presents Thursday Breakfast to start your day playing music from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s with great memories and wonderful music that we all grew up with and still enjoy. His ‘welcome to the day’ program includes Trivia, On This Date in History and of course Quizzical. A music quiz that listeners love to listen to and answer a question to get their favourite music track played on the following week’s program. Bruce has been at the station since 2018 and previously co-hosted Thursday Coast Magazine with Dave Hearn. And now kicking off the bed covers really early to do his breakfast program from 6.00am to 9.00am You can start the day with lots of memorable music tracks with his fun and enjoyable style along with your first cup of coffee or tea. If driving in the car there are plenty of tracks to sing along to on your journey.

Having grown up as a teenager in the 70’s early 80’s, this is my favourite period of music. Since becoming involved with Coast FM in 2012 and listening to the music I have developed a love of the 60’s, especially the Mersey beat which includes the Beatles.

Cheryl Lee has been an Administrator / Accountant all of her professional career.  Cheryl and her husband have raised five children in the Adelaide CBD and as the children became more independent Cheryl rediscovered her love of music and uncovered a previously unknown passion for radio.  Cheryl Lee loves music, particularly Australian music and loves talking to people, and has managed to blend the two loves together.  Be sure to listen every Monday for Monday Latte at 10pm to midnight.

Chris John presents DEEP ROOTS & DUSTY ROADS on Tuesdays 12-2pm featuring a diverse variety of music chosen to keep listeners entertained, stimulated and informed. You’ll hear blasts from the past as well as recent releases, singer-songwriters, country, folk, rock, pop and jazz. You can be part of the program in the “Listener’s Choice” segment where listeners get the chance to choose 3 songs and tell us about them. There are also occasional interviews with visiting musicians featured on the program. Chris has worked in the performing arts sector for over 40 years as a manager, promoter, writer, director and performer.

I’m Christine, your host on The Orange Blossom Special every Sunday 2pm to 4pm. As a dancer I love the Lindy Hop and Rockabilly and that is reflected in the music I play, from the 40s and & 50s up to today, in the style of those eras. My first record album, given to me in 1964, was Rob E.G’s Hawaiian Guitar. I loved the record then and still do. At that time I was a member of the Rob E.G Fan Club. I was introduced to Coast FM by ‘The Hound Dog’, Bob Shannon. Bob had this time on air each Sunday and was well known for promoting Adelaide talent. I am proud to be able to continue what Bob did so well. I love playing Rockabilly, Swing, Blues and Jump Blues bands and occasionally have them in the studio live to air.

Hi I’m Dan The Baldman, and you can catch up with me every Saturday at Midday right here on Adelaide’s Coast FM 88.7 for Coast Hits. My aim is to keep you well entertained on your Saturday afternoon with middle of the road Top 40 hits. Here are some of the artists you’ll hear – The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits and The Hollies, to name just a few. You will hear hits and memories from the 60s onwards, and like me, I am sure that the music will bring back some great memories for you. I truly hope you can join me for an afternoon of Adelaide’s best music variety. Tell all your family and friends about Coast FM 88.7

G’Day Folks, I began with Coast FM in 1988, volunteering in the office and generally making a nuisance of myself.  I was invited to do the presenter training in 2010, and in 2011 went to air for the first time with a program I called “Tracks Of Our Years”.  This quickly became “Back Tracks”, and it ran for nearly four years.   In 2016 Back Tracks was retired and my present program, “The Chocolate Box”, began.   It’s not a program for everyone but, if you like different, amusing and sometimes risqué, then its’ the program for you! After a short hiatus, The Chocolate Box is back with a renewed vigour and an even better program of whatever you’d like to call it.  See you then… Cheers.

Dave is currently a member of the Board of Management and has served on the Board and the Program Committee over the 20 years. Dave was a Police Officer in South Australia for 40 years and in 1998 was awarded the Australian Police Medal (APM) for his services to Road Safety in South Australia. Dave is passionate about his show and presents important Community information, interviews and music. Dave is now widowed but is blessed with 3 great children and 6 grandchildren and is very thankful for that. Please join him and become part of the Thursday Coast Magazine family.

Born in Liverpool UK. My only claim to fame is that I sat in the same seat used byPaul McCartney when he attended my school some years earlier. I was a Beatles fan from an early age, but I do love most music from the 50’s to the 90’s I came to Adelaide when I was 14 and completed my schooling here. Loved going to the various dances around Adelaide each weekend, St Clair, Fiesta Villa, Princeton, The Octagon etc. At 19 I left Australia and lived for 10 years in UK and South Africa, before coming back to Adelaide to live. Judy and I moved to Brisbane in 1995 and lived and worked there until 2016 when we decided to retire back in SA. We keep ourselves busy volunteering with Kiwanis Club of Glenelg and other charities. And now of course there is Coast FM which is fantastic. We have 7 grandkids scattered around the world who are the joy of our lives, and who we love to visit whenever we can.

My life took a step to the left a couple of years after retirement. I wanted to volunteer but was not sure what I wanted to do or what it would look like. And then Coast FM came along, putting out the call for new presenters to complete the training course and take up a career in radio…perfect. This was it. I knew nothing about radio and less about music, but my lack of knowledge did not stop me from having a genuine love of the lyric and a beautiful melody. My world changed in a moment. I really can’t describe, in just a few words, what sort of music I play, but my program on Friday mornings from 3am to 6am describes it best, “aliddlebidahthisnthat”. I’m as ditzy as they come but I have a lot of fun sharing my personal anecdotes about life and the music I have selected from my own collection, along with some ‘’in-depth’ research to find just that nub of useless information that only a true trivia buff would appreciate. The time slot is a tough one and not for the faint hearted, but if you are an insomniac, or up and about for any reason, or if you just simply want to get up to listen to aliddlebidahthisnthat, and why wouldn’t you? … I will deliver to you a program chocoblock with gorgeous music. Every week.

Hi Coasters,  Welcome to Good Morning Starshine, a name I selected from singer Oliver’s 1969 hit song because I thought it was catchy and a great greeting for that time on a Sunday morning! I decided to ‘have a go’ at becoming a presenter at Coast FM last year in 2023 when I started to think about what to do in my retirement which is a few short years away.   I enjoyed the course and owe many thanks to fellow Presenter and Mentor Harald Lindeman for his wealth of knowledge and his patience! I then filled in for ‘The After Party’ for a few months before securing the spot permanently.  I play hits predominantly from the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s. Some of my favourites include Elvis Presley, Gary Puckett, Roy Orbison, Cliff Richard, Helen Reddy, Marcia Hines, ONJ, Dragon, The Seekers, BCR, ELO,  Dolly Parton, John Denver & Johnny Cash.   Please join me to yield some Music-Evoked Autobiographical Memories!  

My name is Gary Clarke and I have been on air at Coast since 2006 and did the presenters training in 2007. For some time I co-presented Lost In Time Monday nights 10pm-midnight. A creature of the night! But now I am enjoying the flexibility of filling in on occasions. Over my time at Coast FM I have done over 200 fill ins (occasionally in the daylight). Still a keen reader, love my ale and the mighty Woodville West Torrens Football Club (family too).

Married to Judy with three adult children and five “grandies”. Retired secondary school teacher (predominately P.E.) – still doing occasional relief teacher days and passionate about sport, but these days mainly restricted to cycling. Busy keeping up with family, volunteer work and Church commitments. Music has always been a passion from early teenage years – drummer for a number of ‘gospel groups’ and rock bands – currently the drummer for the worship band at my Church. Having recently retired from his long running Tuesday Breakfast show, you can catch Graham on the occasional fill-in on Coast FM.

I present Blues Before Midnight on Tuesdays 10pm-midnight and co-present Motochat, a discussion show about motorcycling and road safety, on Wednesdays 7-8pm. I am a retired teacher and enjoy touring by motorcycle as often as I can. I have toured in India, Peru, Bolivia and New Zealand as well as extensively in Australia. I live with my dog, a kelpie/border-collie and enjoy reading a lot, and second-hand bookshops can always see me coming their way. My musical taste is eclectic, ranging from classical and opera, through to jazz and blues, folk and rock and roll (with a preference for early and 70s rock), but I will listen to anything that sounds interesting, has a beat and can be whistled.

My first program “Driving Through The Night” lasted for almost two years. I did not mind the early alarm, I had a good time! I also learned a lot on my own and from fellow presenters. When this new opportunity arrived for a vacant program on Sunday morning, I put my hand up for it. I was lucky and I scored the 9am to midday show time on Sunday mornings. I named it “Sunday Sidewalk”. This time of day is very favourable, it is when families are home, relaxing, friends are getting together for a beach or bush walk, and can listen to my popular music. Tune in, you won’t be disappointed.

Child of the 50’s and denizen of the dark hours before dawn, Jacques is a lover of chrome bumper era cars of Aussie, US and Italian manufacture, architecture and aircraft, Australian Kelpie dogs, SANFL footy tragic and general all-around Francophile. Jacques loves music from many ages and genres, despite being a failed bass guitarist who can’t sing a note! Music as diverse as Maurice Ravel, Stephen Sondheim (yes, Show Tunes!), Jazz, Country, the crooners and anything from the 50’s through the 80’s and of course his favourite French artists are his great musical passions! Catch Jacques, now out of the dark, filling in when he can.

Jay J. became interested in music at a very young age. He has had over 40 years as a solo artist and playing in bands on the Australian Country Music Circuit. He has always had a passion for radio and enjoys all the classic hits from the 50’s to the 90’s together with all forms of country music, such as Traditional, Country Rock, Bluegrass, Country Gospel and Modern or ‘new country’. He has been married to Debi for over 30 years and lives in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide. You can join him every Tuesday at 2.00pm for ” At the Crossroads ” on Adelaide’s Coast FM 88.7. He would love to hear from you, so why not give him a call on 8371 1000 and say hello.

My musical life adventure came from listening to the radio during the 1960’s, seeing the interstate bands at local dances and enjoying the best touring super groups while experiencing the best Australian bands at the Sunbury Rock Festival in the 1970’s. From a time when everybody bought a guitar hoping to be in a band that made it big, when vinyl was king now to the digital age of rock music. I hope to bring back the memories of those times to the listeners and introduce the new bands coming through on the scene.

I grew up with the music of the Fifties, and listened to the Hit Parades at every opportunity. I loved the music from the likes of Guy Mitchell & Nat King Cole, Patti Page & Teresa Brewer, and all the rest of those great, great performers. Then after seeing Johnny O’Keefe at one of Lee Gordon’s “Big Shows”, I was switched on to rock’n’roll, and started my own band, Bobby James & the Esquires. These days I satisfy my passion for good music by being a Presenter on Coast FM. If you love good music from the Fifties, right up to the present, and especially the great songs of the Sixties & Seventies, why not tune into my regular Friday Midday program, “Memory Lane”?

Hi, I’m John Forster , now hosting Tuesday Drive. I have been involved with community radio since the mid 1990’s, firstly with Radio Maitland (RMFM) in N.S.W. which amalgamated with Cessnock community radio to become Central Hunter Community Radio (CHRFM). I moved to Adelaide on Christmas Day 1999, & after a few years break I joined CoastFM in 2002. After completing my training, I have hosted or co-hosted a number of programs over the years, the latest being “Time Warp” for six years until my switch to Tuesday Drive. Each program contains a feature artist double play, a comedy or novelty song, an instrumental track & triple play from a particular year, music is mainly sourced from the 1960’s through to the 1980’s, however I can slide either side of those decades at times. My main influences in music include The Beatles (including their solo recordings), The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, Manfred Mann, Skyhooks, Sherbet, Alice Cooper & many more. I would love you to join me on Tuesday Drive 4pm-6pm.

What can be said about this man who presents Backtracks every Wednesday at 2pm. A great variety of music from the past including rock ‘n’ roll. Have a listen to Backtracks on Wednesday 2pm to 4pm, you won’t be disappointed.

I have been involved with Adelaide Coast FM since I began a training course in 2015. I presented “Dancing in The Moonlight” between 3am-6am, every Tuesday Morning and later I began presenting the Saturday Breakfast Show, “Breakfast at Joy’s Place”, which I still present. I am a retired English/History Teacher, and I have taught in country and city High Schools. I love a range of musical genres, such as ballads that tell a story, entertain or evoke memories from a different time in history. I enjoy upbeat pop or rock music, rare gems, forgotten favourites and even a small smattering of bubble gum. I can relate to Celtic music, folk music and popular country songs. I play some music from the 50s, with a greater range from 60s, 70s through to the 80s/90s, and sometimes beyond. I volunteer in the Office on Thursday mornings, completing a range of duties. It is a privilege to be a member of the Adelaide Coast FM Team, and I appreciate the chance to communicate and share music with you, our listeners. Please join me on Adelaide Coast FM, 88.7: The Heart of Adelaide: every Saturday morning, 6am-9am, for a taste of delicious music and timeless musical artists.

Judith grew up in the New England area of Northern N.S.W. not far from Tamworth, surrounded by country music. As a teenager she moved to Sydney and joined the folk club circuit. In late 1991 Judith was invited to do an interview about her band ” Key Country” at Coast FM which at that time was an aspirant station on a temporary licence. Already doing a course in Sound and Audio to assist with the PA for her band, Judith was smitten with radio. She did the Training Course, joined as a volunteer, and never left!! Judith started on Saturday Breakfast, then Wednesday Coast Magazine before starting her own show on Thursdays. ON THE BORDER was an ideal choice to name the show and offers the opportunity to play almost any genre of music. Judith treasures the many phone calls she gets every Thursday and enjoys promoting local talent and community events. Join her at 2.00pm every Thursday for 2 hours of great music…….

Phil has been a qualified presenter here at Coast-FM for around 15 years. Phil’s large collection of music from ’50s to the ’70s keeps him busy listening and selecting music for his shows. Phil loves his rock and roll and can be seen at most venues around town as he sometimes dances with several women at once. Now that is real talent!!! Phil is the “Caretaker” of Saturday’s Roadhouse program on at 2.00pm.

I love music of any genre, so join me on Sunday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. for ‘Relaxing Interlude’. Music has no era as long as it’s soothing to the ear and relaxing to the soul. Sharing it with listeners is my goal.

Luke Lambert, better known as “Lambo”, has over 25 years of experience in community radio, and has been involved with Coast FM since 2007. Currently, he’s the host of Lambo’s Party Mix every Saturday night.  Lambo’s Party Mix will always entertain you with lots of great hits from the 70s – today.

Join Lynette on Monday nights from 8pm through to 10pm for the Wright Mix. You will be sure to hear some of your favourites from the 1960’s right through to the 2000’s to get your toes tapping!

Hello there!! My passion for radio started July 1982 in Malaysia. It was a community radio station attached to the RAAF base at Butterworth. From there I moved to Townsville and for 13 years I was a presenter and General Manager at 4TTT FM.  Almost 24 years ago I joined Coast FM, presenting a breakfast show was my most favourite program to do. For the past four years though I have enjoyed a break, and just did fill in programs keeping my hand in and more importantly keeping in touch with you. I’ve had a good rest, and I feel it is time to get back into what I love doing, that is a regular program. I’m looking forward to creating a show that hopefully you will find entertaining. After nearly 45 years in community radio Coast FM feels like home, and it’s nice to be home! Come along and enjoy ‘A Lazy Sunday Afternoon’ with me.

Hello there, I’m Malcolm Hill and I present Thursday Deluxe 8 – 10pm. It is not a request show. It is based on a simple but strong belief that I have.. I believe there is only two kinds of music. Music you like and music you don’t. As a result I only play music with a beat, that’s what I like. Favourite artists include the Stray Cats, Southern Culture On The Skids, The Detonators, The Satellites, Daddy Cool, The Doors and Cream to name just a few. So if you like music that moves, this may be a good one for you to tune into. I know I like it.

I am very passionate about the local and Australian new release music to support the local artists that don’t really get airplay anywhere other than Community Radio. The name of the show has also evolved to The Sound Cage Live Sessions as all the interviews are live to air not pre-recorded. During the lock down I was doing a massive amount of live interviews for live streaming platforms as artists couldn’t do physical gigs. I am also calling myself the Cheeky Fairy these days as some people really don’t understand that Wicked Fairy doesn’t mean nasty. I play 85% Australian music with 50% female and with around 35% new Indigenous artists on the Scene. I love music from a very early age due to my family being very musical – so radio seemed a great place to share good music. I have also done a stint of around a year interviewing and filming for music TV.

Mark Constable has been with Coast FM since 1990. He has been an avid record and music collector since the age of 14 and also studied both pop culture and history of the 50s, 60s and 70s music. He also enjoys music from the 80’s. His program Beatbox is simply singalong pop and rock from the 50s to the 80s plus some long lost hits and rarities mixed with a little pop trivia as well. If you like Hits and Memories you can sing along to then please join Mark between 12 Noon and 2.00pm every Thursday afternoon on Coast FM. You are welcome to call on 8371 1000 and share your music memories with Mark during the program and he will play your request if you have a favourite song you would like to hear from the past.

Mel Tickle (aka “The Godfather of Groove”) presents “A Touch of Jazz” each Sunday fortnight 9pm to midnight. The show presents jazz in all its various styles –early New Orleans mainstream/traditional, the smooth stylings of 60’s cool/bebop and the work of contemporary performers. Mel has a deep musical heritage. All his family were performers and appreciators. Growing up he was exposed to a broad range of musical styles, genres from classical, jazz, gospel, music hall, classic rock, pop, and soul and as such he is the quintessential Renaissance man/music lover – he is indeed – ‘A Man for All Music’. Mel co-founded and still performs around South Australia in the busy “party music” trio “Groove Brothers and Soul Sister”. The combination of performance experiences with over 30 years of public speaking training and presentations with Rostrum SA provides Mel with a strong skill base for radio presentation.

I first tuned into the world of commercial music via a crystal set given to me for a birthday present.That was probably around 1960 and I have been a music buff ever since. I volunteered with the St John Ambulance through the 70’s and early 80’s. I also worked as an Enrolled Nurse during this time. I went to Sydney and worked in the money markets from 1984, returning to Adelaide with my own business until the late 90’s. I spent 2 years in Broken Hill and 6 years in Adelaide involved with the changes that occurred in the energy markets. I am now semi-retired with a small online business. I joined Coast FM in April 2017 and I am living a life long dream to play music and present my own program. I used to visit 5KA in Franklin St when I was about 15 hoping that I would one day be noticed and eventually become a radio presenter. Coast FM has made that possible and I hope you enjoy listening to my program, Monday Lunch with Michael J, Monday’s midday – 2pm. Favourite Australian Singer – Tina ArenaFavourite Australian Band Acca Dacca Favourite International Singers – Neil Diamond/George HarrisonFavourite International Bands – The Beatles/The Rolling Stones

Michael is our youngest presenter at Coast. Join him every Wednesday night from 6.00pm – 7.00pm.

Hi, I’m Mike Royans, your Picture Show Man. I present a two-hour programme every Wednesday evening at 10pm, consisting of music and songs from movies and TV, all originally from vinyl records. I even have records with nostalgic advertisements & comedy skits from television and radio, as well as radio broadcasts of historical significance. You’ll hear music from world-renowned John Williams & Hans Zimmer to Australian film composers such as Jed Kurzel & Bruce Smeaton. You might hear performers such as ABBA and Barbra Streisand to Dire Straits & Don Burrows to name but a few. My musical passion is music & songs that have added emotional impact to movies & TV shows, but particularly from vinyl records. It’s amazing what I find on the “fantastic black plastic” in record stores & op shops like the Lions Club Op Shop at Camden Park! There’ll be the occasional interview with people associated with the movies or who have a story to tell who also love movie music.  I try to design my shows to recognise sections of the community like Ambo’s, Police Force, Firies, charity workers, or women in show business, but I’m always open to suggestions! Other shows might be based on a theme like Oscar nominated films or actors or even based on animals or espionage in the movies! Join me on COAST FM 88.7 as I fulfill a boyhood dream from my younger days of playing my sisters’ vinyl 45’s on our radiogram. Music from the big screen, TV & radio of the past all from vinyl records!

My interest in music has been life long, my eldest brother played in a band and I learnt to play acoustic guitar in High School (sadly didn’t keep it up). I was in musical theatre for over 20 years, love to dance and I sing in a choir. I always have music playing in the house and car. When I heard about the Training Course at Coast, I was ready for a new venture in my life, did the course at the end of 2020 and now have my own program.I really like doing the research and putting the show together. My first program was Music Beat with Pamela which aired every Friday morning midnight-3am. I did that for 6 months then gained the Friday Breakfast time slot and really enjoying it.I play all genres and decades and usually have a theme. Happy Listening!

I grew up surrounded by a variety of music at home. I learnt the keyboards and played at church wedding ceremonies. Early 2017, I found 88.7 Coast FM and from that moment, I was hooked on community radio and what it offers. I applied for a Presenters Course, passed and soon thereafter, I had my first show in the morning at 3am. I feel being on Coast FM offers me the opportunity to share my love of music. I enjoy the interaction with listeners especially when they phone. It excites me to play music ranging from the 50’s through to the 90’s. I am passionate and excited to present each week and challenge myself to bring something different with an artist that you may not have heard previously or covers of well-known songs. Music is an international language.

G’day, I’m Paul Schiller, host of the Sunday Variety Showcase, between 9am-12pm. I was born in Adelaide in 1964, and grew up in the north- eastern suburbs, where I reside today. I work full time for S.A. Health, and have a wonderful 18 year old son that lives with me full time, as he has done since he was ten. I like music and dancing, but not necessarily in that order 🙂.  I used to have my own mobile DJ business, and I have previously been a DJ at a couple of nightspots in Adelaide. I have been a member of the Austrian Club at Ovingham for over 45 years, performing Austrian dancing around the country. I also did around 7 years of social ballroom dancing, but my absolute favourite style of dance is the ” Lindyhop ” swing style. Anyway, thanks for getting to know me, and I encourage you to please give me a call in the studio during my show, so I can get to know you a little better.  

Hi, Peter here I am a Coast FM tragic and love presenting music from the fifties to the present. I am a retired Tax Agent and now doing what I love, that is bringing music to the radio. My lovely wife Jill is on air with me keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Peter’s career in broadcasting spans over 20 years. He commenced his radio journey in 1976 when he attended the Vaughan Harvey School of Broadcasting at 5KA. This ultimately led to his first job in radio at 5RM in Berri. Radio was all he ever wanted to do and to be successful in realising his dream was very exciting and satisfying. Peter has worked at several radio stations since then including 5SE Mount Gambier, 5PI Port Pirie, 5KA, 5AD, 5AA and LIFEFM in Adelaide. He has been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve in a variety of roles in broadcasting, including announcing, programming and management. Peter left radio in 1998 to pursue other career options, but it was always difficult to shake off the ” radio bug “. He completed the Coast FM Presenters Training Course in 2015 and is now back on the airwaves. His music tastes? He is a 70’s child but if the music is good, he’ll play it.

I have been presenting the Sportscap show for around 17 years and have a love of all sports with my number 1 being cricket. I have previously been on the Coast FM Board and am currently on the Adelaide Turf Cricket Board as well as African Charity Voard Tanzeed. I am married with 3 kids and my favourite Music Genre is 80’s. I love to travel and catching up with friends.

Hi, Ray Hann here.  I present Monday Drive from 4pm to 6pm.  I have been with CoastFM for 4 years and I am thoroughly enjoying myself. I have always had a passion for music especially music ranging from the 60’s right through to the 80’s.  My passion continued through always wanting to become a DJ and CoastFM has given me the opportunity to fulfil this passion.   I look forward to your company on Monday Drive with Ray at 4pm to 6pm. 

I’m Rob Cooper, a recent addition to the Coast FM team. Lucky to have lived and worked overseas for more than a quarter of a century, I’ve grown up influenced by the music of a number of cultures and from eras ranging from the fifties to the current decade. I try to share that musical diversity, often showcasing acts that I’ve seen perform live and there’s been quite a few over the years.

In March 2015 Rob retired from Wednesday Breakfast after 16 wonderful years and commenced presenting Wednesday Morning Magazine in June 2015. Rob continues to play music primarily from the 60s and 70s which he is passionate about and includes lots of vinyl. In this new time slot Rob is thoroughly enjoying chatting to lots of interesting folk and a highlight in the first hour is talking to a different Coast Presenter each week which is proving to be very popular.

Hi everyone my name is Robert Cortazzo and welcome to my page. Joining 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM in late 2019, I had a calling to do something positive with my life after I retired from my work of 39 years with Telstra as a Duty Manager/Technical Expert. Of which I have very fond memories and have made long life friends whom I still see often. I have been a proud presenter on 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM since October 2019, and what a journey it’s been! Starting out in the small hours with the midnight show After Midnight, I kept the night owls company with smooth tunes and easy vibes. From there, I swapped the moonlight for the spotlight, hosting At the Movies on Wednesday nights, where I indulged my passion for cinema and music from those movies. Now, I take the reins on Tuesday mornings, spinning bright, upbeat tracks from the 50’s, ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, with a sprinkling of surprises to keep listeners on their toes. Whether it’s Aussie classics, double plays, or free-for-alls, it is all about celebrating music and making mornings better. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every moment behind the mic, and I’m so grateful for the support of our incredible community radio listeners. Tune in and let my enthusiasm for great music and good vibes set the tone for your day—because supporting 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM means keeping community radio alive and thriving!

Hi Coast FM listeners, I’m Roger Davey and I’m very happy to be a part of this great community radio station. I joined Coast FM in 2014, and graduated from the presenters training course in early 2015. I’m the presenter of the “Sunday Breakfast” program, on Sunday mornings between 6 AM and 9 AM. I love most genres of music, and love coming in and playing it each week for the enjoyment of our listeners.

Ron hosts the Adelaide City Life program at CoastFM every Monday from 6pm to 8pm.

Throughout his life he has enjoyed singing and playing the drums. Ron brings his love of music to his Adelaide City Life program and relishes the opportunity to interview interesting local people from musicians to politicians in Adelaide and afar who often have amazing life stories to tell. Ron returns to the airwaves after having a history with radio, kicking off with RadioActive, a student radio station he formed with his life long friend Gary Lewis. Both Ron and Gary and others then went on to form a commercial holiday station called Radio Taupo. During these radio years, Ron was also studying law at Victoria University, Wellington New Zealand in the mid to late 1970’s and is now a practising lawyer and musician in South Australia.

Hi everyone, I am a retired nurse living near the city with my wife of 40 years, Sarah. We have 3 children and 3 grandchildren to keep us busy along with our volunteering and other interests. I have a passion for most sports especially golf, motor cars both classic and moderns, travel (bad luck here), gardening at home and of course music. I have very eclectic music tastes, from musicals like Camelot and Cats to classical from Mozart or Puccini, early rock and roll to the new wave of the early 80’s. The community involvement to which this station aspires makes me feel a part of something worthwhile, my current show, the Wednesday Drive at 4-6PM is a great way of giving something of myself. Join me on the way home from work for a varied mix of 1960s 70s and 80s popular music. I plan to play the soundtrack to our lives.
