Coast 96.3 (formerly Marcher Coast FM) is a commercial radio station in Wales, available along the North Wales coast.
The station, which is currently broadcast from Bangor (and previously Colwyn Bay) and transmitted from the Great Orme, Llandudno, officially broadcasts from Anglesey in the west to Holywell in the east, but can be heard as far away as Manchester.
The station, along with the nearby Marcher Sound and Champion 103 was part of the Marcher Radio Group of radio stations, which were bought by the GWR Group (now GCap).
GCap did put the Marcher Group stations up for sale in 2005, but in March 2006 the sale was called off.
Coast 96.3 won a Gold Sony Award at the Sony Radio Awards 2006 for stations with a TSA of under 300,000.
