Greatest Hits Radio Cumbria & South West Scotland is the local Greatest Hits Radio service for Carlisle, Cumbria and parts of South West Scotland. Formerly known as CFM, the station now carries Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio format, mixing well-known songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s with local and regional news, weather and travel information.

The music is built around familiar classic hits from artists such as Queen, ABBA, Blondie, David Bowie, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince. It is designed for listeners who want recognisable songs, strong presenters and regular updates, rather than a thin playlist with a radio logo slapped on it.

For Carlisle and Cumbria listeners, the local version matters because it keeps the Greatest Hits Radio network connected to the area. Local and regional bulletins give the station a practical daily role across Carlisle, Workington, Penrith, Whitehaven and nearby communities, while the national schedule brings in major UK radio names including Ken Bruce, Simon Mayo, Rossie and Jackie Brambles.
