Greatest Hits Radio (West Yorkshire)

Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire has radio history connected with the former Ridings FM and Radio Aire names. The current service brings Bauer's classic-hits programme to an audience associated with this part of Yorkshire.

Its main selection comes from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Familiar popular recordings provide the musical centre, with several mainstream styles appearing together rather than one genre dominating the entire programme. Presented entertainment brings conversation and continuity around the music.

Ken Bruce's PopMaster sits alongside Golden Years and guests in the network output carried by the West Yorkshire edition. Zoe Ball's afternoon features include 54321 and listeners' Lunchtime Anthem selections. Simon Mayo presents Confessions on drivetime, while All Request Friday makes the audience responsible for the songs.

Other programmes explore the repertoire through conversation and specialist selections. Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles has featured artists including Gabrielle and Mike Rutherford. Jenny Powell builds The Mixtape at weekends, and Des Paul turns to soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades draws on her own vinyl collection, introducing rarities and taking live requests played from original singles alongside familiar hits.

West Yorkshire reporting follows communities including Leeds and Shipley, as well as county-wide public issues. Published subjects include water-company accountability, road safety and initiatives intended to prevent sexual violence. Cultural and lighter stories also appear, such as a replica Ghostbusters car in Leeds. This range adds a regional news perspective to the shared entertainment and the station's earlier local identities.
