Greatest Hits Radio (Lincolnshire)

Greatest Hits Radio Lincolnshire is Bauer's regional classic-hits service for the county. It brings a programme of familiar popular music and presented entertainment to listeners in this part of eastern England.

The main selection ranges over the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. That three-decade span makes room for different popular styles, with recognition and nostalgia connecting the recordings. The music is retrospective rather than concentrated on current chart releases, but it is not restricted to one ten-year period.

Ken Bruce's programme includes PopMaster, Golden Years and guests, placing a music quiz alongside records associated with particular years. Zoe Ball brings Lunchtime Anthem requests and the 54321 quiz to her afternoon show. Simon Mayo's drivetime includes Confessions, while All Request Friday turns the choice of songs over to the audience. These are shared programmes carried by the Lincolnshire edition.

There is also room for a closer look at the people who made the music. Jackie Brambles' Great Conversations features visiting artists, with Gabrielle and Colin Blunstone among the interviewees. Jenny Powell's Mixtape takes a DJ-led approach to weekend listening, and Des Paul's Rhythm Of The Night concentrates on soul, funk and disco. Together they add interviews, requests and more focused musical sessions to the daytime mix.

Lincolnshire coverage brings county subjects into the service's reporting. Examples include concerts at Lincoln Castle, changes to recycling-centre access, a homelessness charity's anniversary exhibition and community gardens in Grantham. Farming and town-centre funding also appear among its topics. The local connection is expressed through those places and issues alongside the shared music programme.
