Classic Hits Forest Gold is based in Epping, Essex and centres its output on what it calls good time oldies. The station leans heavily into familiar songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, giving it a much clearer musical identity than the average generic online oldies stream.

A big part of the station’s appeal is its live schedule. Rather than sounding like an endless jukebox, Forest Gold has named presenters across the week and weekend, with specialist shows, request-driven features and a mix of easy-going daytime oldies, weekend favourites and themed programming.

That combination of oldies depth, local roots and recognisable voices gives the station a warmer feel than a lot of faceless nostalgia streams. For listeners who want classic songs they know, presenters with personality and an Essex-based station that feels alive, Classic Hits Forest Gold offers a much fuller listen than a bare automated feed.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Chris Taylor: Weekday breakfast presenter and part of the station’s request-show team.
  • Mark Wilson: Hosts weekday mid-mornings.
  • David Bartley: Presents weekday afternoons and Saturday Saturday.
  • Paul Meader: Hosts weekday afternoons and Sunday morning oldies shows.
