This ranges from the 'Golden Oldies', to present day new releases. So there's something for everyone! We also provide niche shows that you wouldn't usually find on other stations.

Jon Parker

I am a MASSIVE Disney fan as well as a Harry Potter 'nerd'.
I am a big animal lover and have a small dog that keeps me busy.
I like hiking, exploring new places and enjoying beautiful scenic views across South Devon. My favourite artists amongst others are Charli XCX, Becky Hill, Lady Gaga & Miley Cyrus. You can hear me every Friday from 9pm for my 'Best of Dance & Electronic Music Show' as well as Tuesday mornings between 10am-12pm for my Mid Morning show! See you there!

David Wright
Presenter
David started his radio life as a Hospital Radio presenter in 1999, spending ten years collecting patient requests and playing endless copies of "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder to the maternity ward. Radio alone wasn't enough, and so he spent the next 15 years working in Television production, on everything from infomercials to hard hitting documentaries. He is very proud to have had one of The Corrs (the guy, sadly) perch on the edge of his desk, and has rifled through Eamonn Holmes pockets trying to work out who left their coat behind...He now manages a successful UK logistics and retail sales firm, but is never far from the airwaves, presenting 80's and 90's middle-of-the-road music on his local FM station - although his real love is Trance Music.Trance 2 Go, featuring the latest trance releases and classic Trance tracks from the 90's to today, is his attempt to share that music with you, and he is delighted to be joining Palm Torbay. With his love of all things 138bpm, he does want you to know he presents the show as much for him, as for you!! Listen every Saturday night 10pm-Midnight! You can also catch me Monday evenings 10pm-Midnight for 'The Love Zone' and Saturday mornings 10am-12pm for 'The Mid-Morning Show'!

Pippa Wright AKA PippaD
Presenter
Hello! I'm PippaD!
I grew up with musicals and thanks to my mum, I know more show tunes than is probably healthy. I even performed in the West End (don’t worry, I won’t burst into song too often on air… probably).
Over the years, three different bosses have all called me Mischief, apparently, it’s a theme, so expect plenty of fun alongside the big voices and bigger songs. Whether you love the golden oldies, the modern blockbusters, or the quirky hidden gems, I’ll be serving them up with a wink and a laugh. Catch me every Sunday 3-5pm for 'Centre Stage' - two hours of the best hits from the musicals! You can also catch me Friday lunchtimes 12-2pm for 'Lunchtime with PippaD'! See you there!
