Greatest Hits Radio (Surrey & East Hampshire)

Greatest Hits Radio Surrey and East Hampshire has earlier radio connections with Eagle Radio and The Breeze East Hampshire. The current edition brings Bauer's classic-hits network programme to an audience extending across the county boundary.

Familiar popular songs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s form its musical core. The selection ranges across styles from those years rather than choosing one decade or genre for the whole service. Presented entertainment brings company and conversation alongside the recordings.

Shared entertainment on the Surrey and East Hampshire service includes Ken Bruce's PopMaster, Zoe Ball in the Afternoon and Simon Mayo on drivetime. Bruce also features Golden Years and guests, while Ball's programme includes 54321 and Lunchtime Anthem requests. Mayo presents Confessions, with All Request Friday built around the songs listeners ask to hear.

The programme also reaches into interviews and more specialised record selections. Jackie Brambles' Great Conversations has featured guests such as Gabrielle and Haircut 100. Jenny Powell supplies The Mixtape at weekends, and Des Paul brings soul, funk and disco to Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades draws on her personal vinyl library, including rare finds and live requests played from original singles.

Surrey and East Hampshire reporting includes both county-wide decisions and individual towns' concerns. Published examples cover rural connectivity at Charlwood, traffic enforcement in Oxshott and plans affecting the Harlequin Theatre. Hampshire's public finances and research at the University of Surrey broaden the scope, giving the edition local subjects across the area linked with Eagle Radio and The Breeze.
