Three Waves now, more every month

Each Wave is a full publication with its own newsroom. In the app they sit side by side, and the next ones, new regions and whole new topics, join them as they launch.

Pick your Wave

Your region first, then every other

The first time it opens, the app asks which Wave is yours. From then on the arrow beside the logo opens every Wave in the network, and one tap makes the whole app that Wave: its news, its calendar, its towns.

New Waves, regions and topics, appear the day they launch
Your sign-in and saved stories stay with each Wave

The front page

The day in your Wave, at the top

Open the app and your Wave is leading with what matters today: the lead story large, then the rest of the day in order, with the sections across the top to narrow it to news, business, food and drink, health or lifestyle.

Fresh stories every day, from the towns themselves
Sections a tap away, no menus to dig through
The same front page as the Wave's own website

Stories

Made for reading, and for listening

Every story opens with its photograph, a drop cap and room to breathe. Like it, save it or share it from the top, and press Listen to have it read aloud on the drive.

Listen, with a speed control
Save it for later, or share it in one tap
No pop-ups and no autoplay video

Events

What's on now, and this weekend
