📢 Exciting News!

We’re thrilled to announce that our South Shields and Tynemouth community radio service is rebranding to join the Affinity Radio brand! 🎉

Rest assured, the great service you know and love from Radio Shields will continue. However, from 00:01 on Monday, 3rd February, we’ll officially be known as Affinity Radio Shields.

Here’s what’s changing:
✅ Social Media: All our channels will now be branded as simply Affinity Radio.
🌐 Website: Visit www.affinityradio.uk, where you can choose and listen to your preferred service.
📻 Still on DAB: Don’t worry—you’ll still find us on DAB as always! However, from Monday on the South Shields & Tynemouth DAB we'll appear as "AFFINITY SHLDS" or "AFFINSHLD"

You might notice some updates over the coming days as we prepare for this exciting transition.
