Coast FM primarily serves the Southern and South-Western community in the Adelaide metropolitan area, broadcasting 24 hours per day, with live presenters providing personal contact with listeners.

From 6am to 6pm listeners tune in for an array of local news, sport, music and community information.

Adelaide's Coast FM's programming has a very heavy bias towards popular rock and pop music from the 1960’s to the 1990’s, which suits a variety of age groups and the main audience who are 39 years plus. Coast FM also features popular Breakfast and Drive programs.

From 6pm each evening, Coast FM offers traditional community radio fare: sport, religion and speciality music programmes, including jazz, soul, musicals, alternative, dance, rock-a-billy, contemporary pop and music featuring local artists and bands.
