NZME's Coast radio network is coming to Christchurch on Monday August 3, headed by former radio host James Daniels.
Daniels, who was last on air in Christchurch in 2018 with The Breeze, is coming out of retirement to host the broadcast.
Daniels says there's a real "feel good factor" about the station.
"Christchurch is my hometown, I live on the coast in Parklands and radio is my trade," the full-time city councillor says.
