Greatest Hits Radio South Coast serves Southampton, South Hampshire, East Dorset, West Sussex and parts of Wiltshire with familiar songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The station is part of Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio network and gives South Coast listeners a local route into the wider classic-hits service.
The station has one of the strongest local radio backstories in the current Greatest Hits Radio network. It replaced Wave 105 in March 2024, a station that had built a loyal audience across the South Coast for decades. That history matters because many listeners still associate the 105.2 FM service with South Coast radio rather than a generic national feed.
For listeners in Southampton and across the South Coast, Greatest Hits Radio South Coast is built around easy, familiar listening: big singalong records, recognisable presenters, news, travel, weather and a classic-hits playlist that avoids modern chart churn. It works well for driving, working or keeping a reliable music station on in the background.

- Ken Bruce: Presents the weekday mid-morning show, including PopMaster.
