Seaside FM

105.3 Seaside FM (originally known as Seaside Radio) is an Independent Community Radio station based in Withernsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Seaside FM has previously had a Restricted Service Licence, which allowed short periods on-air.

Location

105.3 Seaside FM is based within the South Holderness Resource Centre (also known as the SHoRes Centre) on Seaside Road in the south Holderness town of Withernsea. This follows a move from rented premises at 27 Seaside Road, in between AJ's Cafe and the South Holderness Resource Centre.

History and background

"Seaside Radio Ltd" was originally set up by former Holderness Gazette editor Lyz Turner in 2003, along with other volunteers such as Carl Slaughter and Luke Cullen. It was part of a community based communication and entertainment radio project.

However, Seaside FM actually dates back to Easter 2001 when a temporary broadcast was set up in Keyingham known then as Seaside Radio, the signal was also picked up in both Withernsea and the borders of Kingston upon Hull. After the broadcast, it was thought that Seaside Radio could be developed further.
