Greatest Hits Radio (Sussex)

Greatest Hits Radio Sussex is the regional service associated with the former Spirit FM identity. It now follows Bauer's classic-hits network programme, bringing familiar music and presented entertainment to its Sussex audience.

The core repertoire comes from the seventies, eighties and nineties. Popular songs from those years can vary in tempo and style while sharing the recognition that gives the station its oldies character. The format is broader than a channel devoted to one decade, with room for different mainstream sounds.

Ken Bruce brings PopMaster, Golden Years and guests to the shared schedule carried in Sussex. Zoe Ball's afternoon programme combines music with Lunchtime Anthem requests and the 54321 quiz. Simon Mayo includes Confessions on drivetime and turns to the audience's song choices for All Request Friday. These features give familiar records a setting of conversation, questions and participation.

The interview series Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles has welcomed artists including Mike Rutherford and Colin Blunstone. Jenny Powell presents The Mixtape, while Des Paul concentrates on soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades uses her personal record collection, introducing rarities and playing live requests from original vinyl singles.

Sussex reporting links the shared music programme with the county's public and community life. Published coverage has examined local-government proposals in West Sussex, a community farm's search for land and travel advice around Lewes Bonfire Night. Coastal flood warnings for Bosham and West Itchenor add a practical strand, while health and road-safety subjects extend the range beyond entertainment.
