Hits Radio (Peterborough, Stamford & Rutland)

Hits Radio Peterborough, Stamford and Rutland serves a named audience extending across a city, a town and a county. It carries Bauer's contemporary music programme, whose central mix brings current hits together with familiar throwbacks.

The selection ranges across mainstream styles rather than specialising entirely in rock, dance or another genre. Newer songs and recognised favourites can appear together, with presented shows providing conversation and entertainment between the records. The programme is broader than a single-decade retrospective.

The editorial area crosses several boundaries, linking Peterborough with Stamford and Rutland. Its published coverage has taken in Rutland local-government proposals, road safety around Peterborough and wider affairs affecting nearby Lincolnshire communities. Those connections explain the multi-place identity more clearly than treating the station as a single-city service. Shared entertainment includes Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr at breakfast and the afternoon programme with Gemma Atkinson and Mike Toolan. The network's Throwback strand adds familiar records to its current-pop mix, with regional reporting retained around those common shows.

The edition participates in shared network output while retaining the Peterborough, Stamford and Rutland identity. That full area name gives a clearer audience setting than Peterborough alone. For listeners, the service offers a continuing popular music station with current recordings, remembered songs and regular on-air company across a presented schedule.
