Angel Radio's founder, Tony Smith, concieved the idea to provide a unique nostalgic radio station broadcasting music recorded from the real beginnings circa 1900 up to a cut off point of the end of 1959, plus documentaries on the artistes and musical styles of this era. In addition community related programmes featuring local charities and community groups would be actively encouraged. This would satisfy a need for older people who require relevent information, and for people who enjoy nostalgia.
Angel Radio Isle of Wight broadcasts vintage music and friendly chat on 91.5 FM and online. The station offers a variety of programmes throughout the week, including a record library and news updates. Listeners can also enjoy staff photos and a gallery, with options to donate or advertise.
