Compass FM is an Independent Local Radio station serving Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham and is part of the Lincs FM Group.
Compass FM sits within its sister station's (Lincs FM) TSA (Total Service Area) and the stations format reflects that.
Richard Lyon who has been with the station since day one, and is also the Programme Manager, presents 10am-2pm show. Breakfasts are presented by Joss Moore. Afternoons are presented by Ross Carrick. And evenings are presented by Martin Samuels.
It was the NTL Commercial Radio Station of the Year in 2003 (under 300,000 TSA).
Compass FM provides 24/7 programming, some of which is automated (where the presenter's links between the records are pre-recorded).
The 96.4 FM signal comes from a low-powered transmitter at Bevan Flats in East Marsh in north Grimsby near the A180. This transmitter also has Bauer Humberside.
Three applications were received by the Radio Authority by 5 September 2000, which also included the proposed Haven FM and Southbank FM, having been first advertised in May 2000. The licence for the station was awarded on 24 November 2000.
