Monaco-based Riviera Radio is today expanding, with the launch of a brand new sister station to Riviera Radio, Riviera Relax, dedicated to a tone and pace that offers another flavour for listeners across Monaco and the Côte d’Azur.

Launching today, Tuesday September 29th, Riviera Relax will play a carefully curated relaxing music mix of timeless favourites and modern classics, from artists including Whitney Houston, George Michael, Cindi Lauper, Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Elton John, and Adele. 

Inspired by the laid-back glamour of the South of France, Riviera Relax will offer listeners a soothing, feel good soundtrack across the day. Whether they’re by the sea, on the road, at home, at work or dreaming of the Riviera from elsewhere in the world. 

In a brand new show, world class radio presenter Paul Phear, who has one of the most famous radio voices in the world, will host Monday to Friday, 10am–2pm, bringing his trademark warmth and easy-going style to the heart of Riviera Relax. 

“Riviera Relax is all about creating a soundtrack that feels effortless, familiar and uplifting. It’s the kind of music that instantly relaxes your mood and helps you slow down and well…relax! It’s the perfect complement to Riviera Radio and a brilliant new way to bring the atmosphere of the Côte d’Azur to listeners every day.”

Paul Phear, RIVIERA RELAX PRESENTER

“Riviera Radio is such a special radio station with an incredible connection to life on the Côte d’Azur, with its feel good proposition it is at the core of many people’s life.

We’re delighted to expand the Riviera brand with a fresh new station, and an altogether more relaxing mix, giving listeners more choice and mood states. Riviera Relax captures a softer, more laid-back musical mood while still delivering the warmth and escapism listeners love from the brand.”
