Greatest Hits Radio (York and North Yorkshire)

Greatest Hits Radio York and North Yorkshire is the service whose earlier name was Minster FM. It continues that local radio connection under Bauer's wider classic-hits brand, serving York alongside its broader North Yorkshire audience.

The programme concentrates on familiar popular music from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. That range includes different mainstream styles, giving listeners variety within an oldies-led selection. Presented shows supply entertainment and conversation between the recordings.

The York and North Yorkshire edition carries Ken Bruce with PopMaster, Golden Years and guests. Zoe Ball's afternoon programme includes the 54321 quiz and Lunchtime Anthem requests; Simon Mayo contributes Confessions on drivetime. All Request Friday gives the audience a direct role in choosing the music for the close of the working week.

Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles features musical guests such as Gabrielle and Haircut 100, adding interviews to the shared programme. Jenny Powell presents The Mixtape, and Des Paul follows soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades brings a vinyl collector's perspective, drawing on her own records for rarities and live requests played from original singles. These strands sit within the wider network schedule.

York and North Yorkshire reporting has followed a York charity's breast-cancer awareness campaign, housing proposals across the county and water-infrastructure work in Knaresborough. Animal-welfare concerns at Richmond's Christmas fair provide another community example. These subjects connect the city with neighbouring towns, giving the former Minster FM service a broader regional context alongside the music.
