Heart Tyne and Wear Radio

Heart Tyne and Wear brings familiar popular music and Heart entertainment to a North East audience. The service combines network shows with a regional information connection, placing Newcastle, Sunderland and surrounding communities within a wider North East radio operation.

The broadcaster provides a North East newsroom contact and describes bulletins containing local, UK and world news. Additional morning headlines accompany that reporting, while the regional pages offer North East travel and school-closure information. These practical subjects give the service a local role even when the main entertainment programme is shared nationally. Tyne and Wear is one part of the regional audience, with the music and presenter features drawing on popular culture from well beyond the area.

The Tyne and Wear edition carries Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, alongside daytime programmes from Pandora Christie and Matt Wilkinson. JK and Kelly Brook present later in the afternoon, combining familiar songs and conversation. The North East audience setting remains part of the service while those entertainment programmes are shared across Heart.

Dev Griffin adds an evening show with The People's Popular Pub Quiz. Weekend listening includes Club Classics with Toby Anstis and Rezzy Ghadjar, Saturday Breakfast with Mark Wright and Olly Murs, and Will Manning's EE Official Big Top 40. Emma Bunton's 90s at 9 supplies another musical focus on Sunday. These features give the station a varied programme of chart songs, dance favourites and retrospective selections within its broader pop identity.
