Greatest Hits Radio (The Scottish Borders & North Northumberland)

Greatest Hits Radio The Scottish Borders and North Northumberland serves an audience across the Scotland-England border. Its regional identity brings together the Borders and the northern part of Northumberland within Bauer's classic-hits network.

Songs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s provide the principal repertoire. The selection ranges across popular styles from those years, making familiar recordings and musical memories its common thread. Presented entertainment offers company between the songs.

Ken Bruce's PopMaster, Golden Years and guests feature in the shared schedule heard on this cross-border edition. Zoe Ball's afternoon programme includes 54321 and Lunchtime Anthem requests, while Simon Mayo brings Confessions to drivetime. All Request Friday makes the audience's choices central to the music at the beginning of the weekend.

Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles adds interviews with performers, including guests such as Gabrielle and Mike Rutherford. Jenny Powell's Mixtape draws on the network's core decades, and Des Paul presents soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst works from her own vinyl library in Spinnin' The Decades, including live requests played from original singles and rare finds alongside established favourites. These programmes are shared across Greatest Hits Radio.

The cross-border reporting has followed electrification work on the Borders Railway, disruption at Galafoot Bridge and coastal flooding concerns in Berwick. School issues and golden-eagle conservation add other local subjects. Those examples connect transport, education and the natural environment across the Borders and northern Northumberland, giving the shared music programme a more specific regional setting.
