Hits Radio (Devon)

Hits Radio Devon is the county edition of Bauer's contemporary hits network. It brings current popular recordings and familiar throwbacks together in a music-led programme, offering presented entertainment for an audience associated with Devon.

The selection reaches beyond one decade, allowing new listening and remembered favourites to share the same session. Its broad mainstream sound is not limited to a single specialist genre. Presenters provide company between the records, with conversation and personality as part of the station's appeal.

Devon's news coverage reaches Plymouth, Torbay and smaller communities, with reporting on local-government proposals, wetland habitat plans at Seaton and initiatives involving the county's emergency services. Regional water and railway issues add to that public-service strand. The music day, meanwhile, uses the wider Hits Radio presentation, including Marvin Humes and afternoon hosts Gemma Atkinson and Mike Toolan. Breakfast is associated with Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr, while dedicated Throwback programmes concentrate on familiar records. The local editorial service and the shared entertainment line-up remain distinct parts of the same station.

Shared programmes link the edition with the wider Hits Radio service. Devon remains the geographical reference, but the music is drawn from popular radio well beyond the county. Listeners can choose a continuing general music station rather than an era-only channel, with both current songs and recognisable older hits contributing to its sound.
