Barbara has been a regular presenter with the programme “Coasting with BB”. Currently building a new house, she has temporarily opted to fill in for overnight programmes when needed.

Barbara is a baby boomer who grew up after the Second World War into the 1960’s in Liverpool England. She experienced the excitement of the original Merseybeat era, often dancing in the Cavern to the Beatles and all the other great Liverpool groups. She was in the front row of one of the last Eddie Cochrane concerts before his tragic fatal accident in England.

“Coasting with BB” specialises in 50’s and 60’s music with lots of anecdotes and information about the era.

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 when they phone during my show. My current program is called “The Music Machine” and 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.

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.

I present Blues Before Midnight on Tuesdays 10pm-12 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.

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’s has a deep musical heritage. All his family were all 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 was born on the 3rd of September 1931 in Rotterdam in The Netherlands and migrated to Australia in November 1955. Since then I have always lived in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. I worked in the sales and service of domestic appliances, specializing in dishwashers and air-conditioning. With my wife Annie, I have three lovely daughters and five grandchildren.

I have been following jazz since 1950 and in 1985, was pleasantly surprised to read an advertisement for people interested in setting up a public radio station. It was to be set up at the TAFE College at O'Halloran Hill. There was minimal jazz on the radio in those days and this was an opportunity to fill that gap.

I became a founder member of the fledgling station called Sky-FM and three months later I found myself in a makeshift studio in Kuitpo Forest recording a jazz programme. I was terrified! The first transmission took place from a caravan, using reel-to-reel and VCR tapes.

I became President of the station during the early 1990s when the official opening took place.

I still have some cassette recordings of the opening and of interviews with such notables as Don Hopgood and James Morrison. After twenty years with the station I still get tremendous enjoyment presenting our weekly show A Touch Of Jazz each Sunday night from 9pm till midnight.

Hello ! I’ve been a member and presenter at CoastFM since 2014. I host Pump Up The Volume on alternate Friday nights from 10pm to midnight. The music I play is mostly influenced from my passion for blues and rock across the decades from the late 60’s onwards.

Some of my favourite musicians and bands include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Cold Chisel, U2, Eric Clapton, Santana, Dire Straits, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, BB King, Joe Bonamassa and the list goes on.

If you enjoy a variety of rock and blues from the late 60’s onwards, tune in to Pump Up The Volume on Friday nights at 10pm. I look forward to your company.

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!

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.

If you want to hear a good variety of music from the 60’s to the 80’s with a little bit of 90’s and 00’s thrown in then listen to the Midnight Mix at midnight on Sunday night till 3am Monday morning.

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.

I was originally from Eyre Peninsula, living mostly at Edillilie, Tumby Bay and Whyalla. I finished my schooling in Adelaide in 1971.

My employment included life assurance, finance, furniture retailing and the Federal Public Service. I retired in 2016. I am married with 3 children and 4 grandchildren.

I joined CoastFM in March 2001. Lost In Time started in Jan 2001 and we have never failed to present a show since.

Gary Clarke came on board in the mid 2000’s and is a wonderful co-host.

We enjoy playing almost all styles of music from the modern era, including many local artists. We take requests from our listeners. The rest of the show is based on events in music history, related to the particular week in which we are broadcasting.

We try not to repeat songs in order to maintain a freshness to the show, but repeats are sometimes unavoidable. Why not join us on Monday evenings for a couple of hours of fun at 10:00 pm Adelaide time.

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone my name is Robert Cortazzo and welcome to my page. I started at 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM in around September of 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 which I have very fond memories and have made long life friends of which I still see today often.

I have a very strong passion for music having grown up with it all my life. In my youth I was in the usual bands that a lot of us started and then stopped. Probably a good thing in my case but I still had an affinity for music and bands whether they were local or international. It was great just being able to go out there and listen to them. I love music from 70’s and 80’s particularly from some of my favourite bands being Yes, Supertramp, Genesis, The Beatles, The Eagles, just to name a few. I also have some favourite songwriters and artists, namely Jackson Brown and Warren Zevon. From Australia I really like Paul Kelly and Richard Clapton. You probably will hear a lot of these during a lot of my shows dependent of course on the theme.

At present I go by an alias; “Mr. Movies” on my “At the Movies” show which I present every Wednesday night between 10pm and Midnight. That’s right I also have a passion for films. I noticed that Adelaide’s Coast FM was missing something and I decided that a Movie show playing songs from the movie soundtracks would be a great genre to incorporate in the weekly program and so here I am Mr. Movies from At the Movies presenting songs and soundtracks that you may be all familiar with and perhaps some that you are not, with a movie review every week at 10:45pm.

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

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.

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.

My name is Gary Clarke and I have been on air at Coast since 2006 and did the presenters training in 2007.

All of that time I have been co-presenting Lost In Time with Rhino Monday nights 10pm-midnight, and we've still never got one right ha ha. A creature of the night.

I have also 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).

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.

Hi, I'm Brian. The name of our show is "The Penny Arcade". 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 Friday at 2.00pm for The Penny Arcade.
Brian.
