The stations music policy has to differ from its more modern sister station Lincs FM as there is a distinct overlap. Compass plays mainly golden oldies with few modern songs. Its listenership is comprised primarily of over-40s who want to listen to Hits and Memories.
[edit] Transmitter Info
The 96.4 FM signal comes from a low-powered transmitter at Bevan Flats in East Marsh in north Grimsby. It will be broadcast on the MuxCo Lincolnshire DAB multiplex when this starts in early 2009 across the whole of Lincolnshire.
