Greatest Hits Radio Cornwall is the local Greatest Hits Radio service for Cornwall, carrying the network’s classic hits format alongside local and regional information for listeners across the county. The station replaced Pirate FM on FM in April 2024, keeping a recognisable local radio presence in Cornwall while moving the main music format into Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio network.
The station plays familiar songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s, with a playlist built around big names such as Queen, ABBA, Blondie, David Bowie, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince.
