Pompey Sound is the creation of broadcasters Tommy Boyd and Duncan Barkes. It also sees Boyd united with fellow broadcaster and Pompey fan Mick Robertson. The pair first worked together 45 years ago as presenters of TV programme Magpie.
Fans can listen and find out more about Pompey Sound at pompeysound.com . They can hear it on their smart-speakers by saying 'Alexa, open Pompey Sound' and also on their smartphones.
The output will be unconventional, non-traditional and rough and ready, but always respectful. Fans are encouraged to get involved with Pompey Sound via the website and social media. Musically, Pompey Sound plays an upbeat and energetic mix of music focusing on guitar-driven anthems, classic rock, punk and indie though early mornings will have a more relaxed vibe featuring reggae, ska, two-tone and soul jazz.
Pompey Sound with start the weekday with 'The Pure Pompey Breakfast with Tommy Boyd. Afternoons will see a dedicated output featuring the latest Pompey news, speculation and fixture news.
Matchdays will have a pre-match build-up and a post-match picking over of the final score. During matches, Pompey Sound will have 'Fan In The Stand' Jack Boyd who will be giving updates as well as playing the perfect matchday soundtrack. Sundays at 10.30am will see Tommy and Mick come together to give their thoughts on Saturday's game and to chew over the latest club news.
Pompey Sound is also covering Portsmouth FC Women and will have a reporter at all their home games as well as interviewing players and backroom staff.
Tommy Boyd said: "It was over a few beers that we decided that Pompey fans needed their own 21st century digital radio station. Pompey is a cracking city and their fans are some of the best about - loyal, passionate and outspoken. What we have done is create something that is 100% Portsmouth FC and not full of stuff that other radio stations continue to persist with. Working with Mick again shows just how great life can be and who knew that in 1977 when we first broadcast together that we would still be behind the mic together 45 years later, but this time talking all things Pompey."
