At 101-3 The Coast, we’re not just a radio station—we’re a platform for the unique perspectives, concerns, and cultural richness of our coastal communities. Every song, every voice, and every conversation you hear is curated by people who live here, not dictated by consultants or corporate playlists. The sound of The Coast reflects the energy and spirit of Scituate, Humarock, Marshfield, and Norwell.

When asked at a local record store about our format, our response was simple: It’s not just about the music format—it’s about the experience. That experience is what sets us apart, flowing through our airwaves, online presence, and community interactions.

Our conversations go beyond music. A local fisherman once told us over coffee at the harbor that there was no local outlet discussing the issues facing our waterways. At The Coast, we aim to change that. We bring attention to the topics that matter to our coastal community—whether it’s sustainability, local history, or the evolving landscape of our region—while delivering music that resonates with our audience.

Musically, The Coast blends past and present in a way that feels fresh yet familiar. You’ll hear:

• Today’s best indie and alternative artists pushing the boundaries of rock and songwriting
• Your favorites from the ‘80s and ‘90s—the legacy of alternative and rock
• Deep album cuts from the ‘60s and ‘70s, honoring rock’s rich history

Our format connects listeners who appreciate great songwriting, eclectic sounds, and a mix of legacy and emerging artists. Whether it’s an acoustic gem, a deep alternative cut, or a modern indie anthem, every track we play is chosen to enhance the Coast experience.

We complement our music with nationally recognized programs like eTown, blending live performances with insightful discussions on social and environmental topics. The Coast is about more than just entertainment—it’s about engagement, inspiration, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

Our programming grid below is under construction. We’re working on it – we promise.
