Greatest Hits Radio Somerset serves Somerset with familiar songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s, alongside local and regional news, sport, weather and entertainment updates. The station is part of Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio network, giving listeners the national presenter line-up while keeping a Somerset identity for areas such as Taunton, Bridgwater, West Somerset and Yeovil.
The Somerset service has a layered local radio history behind it. The West Somerset side of the station has used names including Quaywest FM, QuayWest 102.4fm, 107.4 BCRfm, Total Star and The Breeze before becoming part of Greatest Hits Radio. That background matters because it gives the current service a stronger local footprint than a plain national stream.
For listeners in Taunton and across Somerset, Greatest Hits Radio Somerset is built around easy, familiar listening: big singalong songs, recognisable presenters, local updates and a classic-hits playlist that avoids modern chart churn. It works well for daytime listening, driving around the county, or keeping a reliable music station on in the background.

- Ken Bruce: Presents the weekday mid-morning show, including PopMaster.
- Simon Mayo: Hosts The Simon Mayo Drivetime Show, one of Greatest Hits Radio’s flagship weekday programmes.
