Greatest Hits Radio Manchester brings the Greatest Hits Radio sound to Manchester, Greater Manchester and the wider North West, with a familiar mix of songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The station combines big network presenters with local and regional news, sport, travel, weather and entertainment updates for the Manchester area.
The station has serious Manchester radio history behind it. Before becoming Greatest Hits Radio, the service was linked with names including Piccadilly Radio, Piccadilly Gold, Magic 1152, Key 2 and Key Radio. That heritage gives the Manchester service more weight than a generic classic-hits stream, because it sits on top of decades of local commercial radio identity in the city.
For Manchester listeners, Greatest Hits Radio Manchester is built around easy, familiar listening: big singalong tracks, well-known presenters, local information and a classic-hits format that avoids modern chart churn. It is a useful everyday station for listeners who want recognisable music with a Greater Manchester connection.

- Rossie: Hosts Greatest Hits at Breakfast, bringing music, conversation and morning energy to the network.
