Radio Shields

Welcome! We are a local radio station situated in a UK seaside town ‘South Shields’ in South Tyneside.

We are a community interest company. This means that everything we do is for the benefit of the local communities across North and South Tyneside, with hope of launching on DAB digital radio next year!

We broadcast fulltime, showcasing details of local events, news, and activities within the area. We play the latest music from the charts, as well as music from the past 60 years.

There’s something for everyone at our station! Whether you’re a listener or wanting to get involved… we’d love to hear from you!

MUX ONE we are designing radio listening for the future, constructing a unique network of small scale DAB multiplex transmission sites with the prime focus of allowing MUX ONE broadcast partners to reliably reach hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of eager listeners in a cost effective way every day.

TYNEMOUTH & SOUTH SHIELDS offers a small scale DAB licence area of 214sqkm covering over 380,000 adults located in the heart of the North East. Nestled in between the cities of Newcastle and Sunderland, the towns of, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Jarrow. Wallsend, Hebburn, Longbenton as well as East Newcastle and North Sunderland all fall within this coverage area.

A new scheme to help reduce the risk of flooding in a South Tyneside village has been put to the test for the first time after the area was hit by surge of rain.

The £1.2m Cleadon Flood Alleviation Scheme was designed to give added protection to around 130 homes and businesses with measures implemented in the Cleadon Lea and Sunderland Road areas of Cleadon Village to help mitigate surface water flooding.
