Greatest Hits Radio (Plymouth)

Greatest Hits Radio Plymouth continues the service formerly known as Radio Plymouth. Its city connection remains part of the station's identity, now within Bauer's broader network of presented classic-hits radio.

The programme looks mainly to the seventies, eighties and nineties for its music. Popular songs from those periods create a varied retrospective selection, with different styles connected by familiarity rather than one specialist genre. Listeners hear established recordings instead of a schedule driven principally by current chart releases.

Listeners hear Ken Bruce with PopMaster, Golden Years and guests, Zoe Ball in the Afternoon and Simon Mayo's drivetime programme. Ball's features include the 54321 quiz and Lunchtime Anthem requests; Mayo brings Confessions to the daily show and takes song choices for All Request Friday. The Plymouth edition carries this shared entertainment alongside its regional identity.

Jackie Brambles' Great Conversations adds interviews with the people behind familiar songs, including guests such as Colin Blunstone and Emeli Sandé. Jenny Powell presents The Mixtape at weekends. Soul, funk and disco have a dedicated programme in Des Paul's Rhythm Of The Night, while Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades draws on her own vinyl records, including rarities and live requests played from original singles.

Plymouth reporting follows the city's relationship with the wider Devon area. Published subjects include routes for young people into defence employment, proposals for a mayoral authority involving Plymouth and Torbay, and changes to Devon's local-government structure. Bridge repairs, weather disruption and water-supply information add practical concerns alongside those employment and civic stories.
