Kingstown Radio
Former volunteer presenters include Jon Culshaw, a popular comedian, and James Hoggarth, who later joined BBC Radio Humberside and more recently became their music editor.
The station has been at more than one site during its history, but for many years, Kingstown Radio was based at Hull Royal Infirmary, sharing a building with flats for nurses and doctors upstairs from the studio. However in 2021, the studio building was pulled down with short notice of only a few weeks; as of August 2022 the station is no longer broadcasting and is currently seeking a new studio space to move to, with the station unable to find a site at Hull Royal Infirmary due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Backpage Sport
"Backpage Sport" was the name of a sports magazine programme which aired in the 1990s on Tyne Tees Television and is also the name of Manx Radio's sports programme.
Achievements
In 2007, Kingstown Radio won the Silver Award for Sports Output, and four commendations for presentation and production at the Hospital Broadcasting Awards, held in Northampton, particularly for its coverage of Hull City home matches presented by Louise Pitts and Stuart Miles.
