Frisk DAB Launch

A fresh new radio station is about to shake-up the airwaves of the North East.

From their base in coastal Northumberland, Frisk Radio will belt out a high-energy mix of Dance and R&B music with regular 90s and 00s flashbacks, appealing to grown-up millennial clubbers and young breadwinners alike.

Nick Jordan (ex-Galaxy) has been scooped-up to head the station’s flagship breakfast show and deliver an early-morning blend of beats and banter.

Weekends on Frisk read like a festival line-up, with shows from Judge Jules, Roger Sanchez, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk and Tiesto. Radio legend Dave Kelly will warm-up Saturday nights with his “hitmix” of chart anthems.

Owners Stuart Landreth and Mick Winter have been trialling the station’s format through its smartphone app and are delighted to be launching on two of the UK’s newly awarded SS-DAB multiplexes.

“The North East loves to party… As we rise out of lockdown, we’re going to help uplift the mood of the region with a banging music format that runs 24/7!

There is an immense amount of talent in the area, and we’ve assembled a hardworking team of DJs, presenters and production staff who can’t wait to get the ball rolling.”

Frisk are currently partnering with forward-thinking local business owners in the North East who wish to reach switched-on decision makers at a very affordable rate, and über-local level.

Frisk Radio will launch on the Tynemouth & South Shields SS-DAB multiplex this Autumn, and on the Newcastle & Gateshead SS-DAB multiplex soon after.
