Greatest Hits Radio (North Derbyshire)

Greatest Hits Radio North Derbyshire continues the service formerly known as Peak FM. The current station links a north Derbyshire audience with Bauer's larger network of presented classic-hits radio.

Its main music range takes in the seventies, eighties and nineties. Familiar songs from those decades create a broad retrospective selection, allowing different mainstream styles to sit together. The emphasis is on established recordings and recognition rather than one specialist genre or a daily search for the newest releases.

PopMaster with Ken Bruce is one of the recognisable features carried on the North Derbyshire service. His programme also includes Golden Years and guests, while Zoe Ball's afternoon show adds the 54321 quiz and listener-selected Lunchtime Anthems. Simon Mayo brings Confessions to drivetime and takes audience song choices for All Request Friday.

The shared schedule extends into music interviews and themed weekend programmes. Jackie Brambles' Great Conversations has featured guests including Colin Blunstone and Mike Rutherford, putting voices behind the records. Des Paul explores soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night, and Jenny Powell presents The Mixtape. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades uses her personal vinyl collection, including rarities and live requests played from original singles.

Derbyshire reporting gives this edition a county news setting beyond the shared shows. Its published archive includes disruption on the Woodhead Pass, wildfires near Glossop and changes to East Midlands Railway services. Public-safety stories and an account of author Helen Mort's experience of image abuse broaden the range. The archive spans different dates rather than representing only the current day's headlines.
