Greatest Hits Radio Teesside serves Middlesbrough, Teesside and the surrounding North East 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.
The Teesside service has a long local radio history behind it. Before becoming Greatest Hits Radio Teesside, it was known by names including Radio Tees, Great North Radio, Magic 1170 and TFM 2. That heritage gives the station stronger local value than a plain national classic-hits stream, especially for listeners who remember the older Teesside AM services.
For listeners in Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Billingham and nearby areas, Greatest Hits Radio Teesside is built around easy, familiar listening. The format is straightforward: big singalong tracks, well-known presenters, useful 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.
