Global radio stations

Global is a commercial broadcaster with radio services built around distinct musical and spoken programmes. A network label groups services by operator; it does not suggest that a listener will hear the same music, news or presenters on every station. Some programmes have a national identity, while others may have regional schedules or local information. Those differences remain relevant even when a broadcaster supplies shared parts of the daily output. Ownership is one piece of information about a station, not a description of its sound. A listener looking for popular music, a particular decade or extended current affairs discussion will get more useful results by combining the network category with a format or subject. The operator may launch new services or change the organisation of existing ones over time, so the category describes the relationship among its services without freezing a particular lineup into the text. The individual station pages explain what each service broadcasts.
