Greatest Hits Radio (The North of Scotland)

Greatest Hits Radio The North of Scotland carries a classic-hits programme for a broad northern Scottish audience. Its official edition is associated with the Inverness area, while the full station name reflects a wider regional setting.

The selection concentrates on popular songs from the seventies, eighties and nineties. Familiar recordings across different mainstream styles give the service an accessible oldies sound. Presented shows provide entertainment and conversation around the music, rather than limiting the programme to an uninterrupted sequence.

The northern Scottish service shares programmes including Ken Bruce with PopMaster, Zoe Ball in the Afternoon and Simon Mayo's drivetime. Golden Years and guests accompany Bruce's quiz. Ball's features include Lunchtime Anthems and 54321, while Mayo presents Confessions and the listener-selected music of All Request Friday.

Jackie Brambles' Great Conversations gives artists room to discuss the music, with published interviews including Emeli Sandé and Colin Blunstone. Jenny Powell presents The Mixtape at weekends, and Des Paul supplies soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades adds selections from her personal vinyl collection, including rarities and live requests played from original 45s. Each is part of the wider network programme carried by this regional edition.

Northern Scotland reporting follows Inverness and communities further afield. Its subjects have included new walking routes around Inverness, efforts by UHI cookery students to reduce food waste and wildlife conservation around Loch Ness. Industrial development in the Highlands also appears in the coverage. These stories give the broad regional name a more concrete setting alongside the shared music and presenter programmes.
