Coast is a New Zealand radio network playing a mix of "feel good" hits predominantly from the 1970s and 1980s.
The network includes stations in 22 major cities and provincial centres broadcasting from studios in central Auckland, owned and operated by New Zealand Media and Entertainment.
By 2014 most of the older playlist (pre-1960) had been dropped, and at times more recent artists could be heard, including Adele, as the station moved to a more Classic Hits-type format.
Coast's Feel Good Breakfast hosted by Toni Street, Jason Reeves and Sam Wallace was launched in May 2020.
The station's foundation breakfast host was well-known veteran announcer Mike Oliver, who left in early 2011 before passing away from illness in 2014.
Oliver had previously worked as a host on Radio Liberty and a voice over artist on Prime TV.
After Newstalk ZB in Hāwera changed to frequency 1278 AM, the show was dropped and replaced with the Auckland-based programme, but it was later picked up by Coast.
Reeves replaced Murray Lindsay, formerly the long-running day time host of Classic Hits.
However, despite dropping his Southland nickname "Boggy", McDowell was moved to Gore's Hokonui radio station in 2014, swapping places with Nik Brown.
