Heart West Midlands Radio

Heart West Midlands is a regional popular-music service whose familiar songs are accompanied by presenter conversation, entertainment and information. Birmingham and the wider West Midlands supply its audience setting, with a regional newsroom adding public affairs to the music-led day.

The station's archive has covered mental-health support at NEC Group arenas, a public-health conference in Coventry and traffic incidents on the M6 in Staffordshire. Reports from Walsall and the Black Country sit alongside Birmingham stories. This breadth gives the edition a regional rather than purely city-centre remit. Health, transport and public safety are part of that reporting, while national and international headlines connect the West Midlands service with the wider news agenda.

Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden host the shared Heart Breakfast programme, with Pandora Christie and Matt Wilkinson providing other daytime shows. JK and Kelly Brook pair music and conversation later in the afternoon. The West Midlands edition participates in these network programmes while retaining its regional news setting, which has included reporting on Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country.

Heart's entertainment is not confined to one part of the week. Dev Griffin's programme includes The People's Popular Pub Quiz, Club Classics gives Toby Anstis and Rezzy Ghadjar a dance-led strand, and Mark Wright joins Olly Murs for Saturday Breakfast. Sunday includes Will Manning's EE Official Big Top 40 and Emma Bunton's 90s at 9 feature. Together, these give the service a mixture of familiar pop, quizzes, chart songs and presented weekend music.
