Greatest Hits Radio South Yorkshire serves Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire area with familiar songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The station is part of Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio network, combining recognisable national presenters with local and regional news, sport, weather and entertainment updates for South Yorkshire listeners.
The station has a strong Sheffield radio background. Before becoming Greatest Hits Radio South Yorkshire, the service was known as Hallam 2 and Magic AM, with roots in the AM side of the Radio Hallam family. That gives the current station a clearer local identity than a plain national stream, especially for listeners who remember the Hallam and Magic AM years.
For listeners in Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster and across South Yorkshire, the station is built around easy, familiar listening. The format is straightforward: big singalong tracks, well-known presenters, local updates and a classic-hits playlist that avoids modern chart churn.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- 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.
- Rossie: Hosts Greatest Hits at Breakfast, bringing music, conversation and morning energy to the network.
