Greatest Hits Radio (Black Country & Shropshire)

Greatest Hits Radio Black Country and Shropshire is the regional service whose earlier identity was Signal 107. Its audience links the Black Country with neighbouring Shropshire, bringing a wider local radio area into Bauer's classic-hits network.

The Black Country and Shropshire edition spans two related but distinct news areas. Its reporting has addressed Shropshire Council finances and the concerns of the county's businesses, alongside stories from Walsall, Dudley, Oldbury and Kinver. That combination gives the local pages a reach from the West Midlands conurbation into Shropshire. Regional affairs and community safety accompany the shared music service rather than being replaced by entertainment news alone.

Ken Bruce's PopMaster is one of the recurring musical features, with Golden Years and guests also part of his programme. Afternoon entertainment comes from Zoe Ball, and Simon Mayo's Drivetime combines familiar recordings with listener contributions and Confessions. Friday requests and Jenny Powell's Mixtape help change the pace as the weekend approaches. The schedule's seventies-to-nineties focus allows pop, rock, soul and dance favourites to sit together, with those named shows supplied by the national Greatest Hits Radio network.

The programme revisits recognisable music from the seventies, eighties and nineties. That span allows pop, soul-influenced songs and guitar favourites to sit within one listening session. The emphasis is on records with a lasting place in popular radio rather than a station devoted to one specialist scene.
