About Isle of Wight Radio
Isle of Wight Radio is the local commercial station for the Isle of Wight, broadcasting on 102.0 and 107.0 FM. Since 1990 it has been the Island's own station, bringing listeners great music, local news, travel and ferry information, competitions and community campaigns. On this page you can listen to Isle of Wight Radio live online for free.
The Island's station since 1990
Isle of Wight Radio began transmitting on 15 April 1990, initially on 1242 kHz medium wave from Briddlesford Farm, before moving to its FM frequencies. For more than three decades it has been part of Island life, covering everything from the Isle of Wight Festival and Cowes Week to storms, ferry disruption and local elections. Because the Island is separated from the mainland, the station plays an especially important role in keeping residents informed about crossings, roads and weather.
What you will hear
The day starts with Topping in the Morning, the station's popular breakfast show, followed by great music throughout the day, from current hits to favourites from recent decades. Local news bulletins cover stories from Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor and Yarmouth, and travel updates include Wightlink and Red Funnel ferry information and Island bus and road news. The station runs community campaigns and events, from food bank appeals to local charity drives, and it celebrates the Island's people, businesses and traditions.
