About Us

Affinity Media NE CIC is a Community Interest Company providing community radio stations and live events that serve Newcastle & Gateshead and North and South Tyneside. We broadcast from ‘pop-up’ studios in the centre of our communities and also broadcast live from our state of the art studios in Pelaw.

We broadcast locally on DAB (Digital) Radio, and worldwide via our website, dedicated mobile apps and smart-speakers such as Amazon Alexa.

Our events are perfect for fundraising, or just to bring some music to the streets using a roaster of highly talented local artists who will be sure to draw in a crowd. Professional standard equipment and a highly qualified sound/stage engineer will ensure all events run smoothly.

Radio Stations

Affinity Radio is our brand new community radio station serving the communities of Newcastle and Gateshead and all the towns in between from Byker, Felling, Rowlands Gill to West Denton. The station launched on 10th December 2024 following three years of sister station Radio Shields being on the DAB multiplex across North and South Tyneside.

The station broadcast full-time, showcasing details of local events, news, and activities within the Newcastle, Gateshead and surrounding areas, mixing it up with the latest music from the charts, as well as music from the past 60 years.
