Greatest Hits Radio (Staffordshire & Cheshire)

Greatest Hits Radio Staffordshire and Cheshire is linked with the former Signal 2 service. It carries Bauer's classic-hits programme for an audience spanning the two neighbouring counties, retaining that regional radio association under the network name.

The music concentrates on recognisable songs from the seventies, eighties and nineties. Its range crosses mainstream styles within those decades, allowing familiar pop, soulful recordings and guitar-led favourites to sit together. Presented shows provide entertainment between the songs.

The Staffordshire and Cheshire edition carries Ken Bruce with PopMaster, Golden Years and guests. Zoe Ball's afternoon features include Lunchtime Anthems and the 54321 quiz, while Simon Mayo's drivetime brings Confessions into the mix of records and conversation. All Request Friday gives listeners the music choices at the end of the working week.

Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles offers interviews with musical guests, including Emeli Sandé and Mike Rutherford. At weekends, Jenny Powell assembles The Mixtape and Des Paul selects soul, funk and disco for Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades adds a record collector's approach: her own vinyl library supplies rarities and original 45s for live requests, giving the shared schedule a further musical strand.

Staffordshire and Cheshire reporting follows communities on both sides of the county boundary. Its subjects have included a new market hall for Stafford, proposed mayoral powers for Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, and care-home safety in Stoke. Reports from Crewe, Congleton and Kidsgrove add further local reference points, placing economic development and public services alongside the shared music programme.
