Hits Radio (Tayside)

Hits Radio Tayside is the Tayside edition of Bauer's mainstream music offering. Contemporary popular songs and familiar throwbacks form the programme's central selection, with presented entertainment accompanying the recordings.

Its musical range is wider than a single decade and more general than a specialist rock or dance service. Newer hits can sit alongside songs listeners already recognise, giving the programme both current energy and familiarity. Conversation and presenter links supply company through the listening day.

Tayside's reporting also reaches Fife, with published coverage of regional events, road safety on the A92 and community stories around Dundee. The Enchanted Forest and developments connected with Scottish football have appeared within that wider editorial frame. Shared Hits Radio programmes provide the entertainment, including breakfast with Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr and afternoon music and conversation from Gemma Atkinson and Mike Toolan. Kimberly Wyatt's Throwback strand adds another route into familiar records. These network shows sit alongside the Tayside and Fife news service, without being presented as individually produced local editions.

Shared network output forms part of the service, while Tayside provides the regional audience identity in Scotland. The edition is a choice for listeners who want a continuing popular music programme without choosing one era in advance. On-air personalities and a mix of newer and remembered songs give the schedule a character beyond an uninterrupted sequence of recordings.
