Real Radio Legends join internet station

Malcolm McDonald, Bernie Slaven and Micky Horsewill, the former Legends from Real Radio North-east, are joining an online radio station.

They’ll host their sports show live on Morpeth-based Koast Radio weekdays at 6pm.

The internet station launched just two years ago in the South Northumberland area and aims to produce “high quality locally produced, locally relevant programming to appeal to all corners of our community.”

The Legends were dropped from Real Radio last week as part of an “on-going strategy to provide consistent music programming which appeals to the majority of our audience” across all Real Radio stations.

Football phone-ins in Scotland and Wales were also replaced with a networked music show.
