Greatest Hits Radio (Bristol & The South West)

Greatest Hits Radio Bristol and the South West combines a Bristol identity with the wider regional setting around the city. The service was formerly known as The Breeze Bristol and now belongs to Bauer's Greatest Hits Radio network.

Bristol and the surrounding South West provide the editorial setting. The station's published reporting has taken in the city's cultural institutions and sporting events, Bath canal and parking issues, and the restoration of Bridgwater's Eastover Clock. Transport stories also extend to the Great Western railway. These subjects give the regional service a wider brief than Bristol city-centre news, covering neighbouring communities alongside the network's familiar music.

The day is shaped by recognisable presenters and music features. Ken Bruce's PopMaster tests recall of records and artists, Zoe Ball invites afternoon requests, and Simon Mayo brings songs and listener stories to Drivetime. His All Request Friday gives the audience a role in the musical choices. Jenny Powell's Mixtape and Des Paul's soul, funk and disco selections add further variety around the weekend. This is shared Greatest Hits Radio programming, with the Bristol and South West identity supplied by the regional editorial service.

Popular songs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s form the foundation. The music can range across different styles within that period, with familiar recordings and remembered choruses supplying a common thread. It is a classic-hits programme rather than a station focused on Bristol's contemporary local music scene.
