Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire serves Leeds and the wider West 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 West Yorkshire listeners.
The West Yorkshire service has a long local radio history behind it. The Leeds AM feed was previously known as Magic 828, while the wider West Yorkshire service has links with names such as Radio Aire 2, Ridings FM and Pulse 2. That gives the station more local depth than a plain national classic-hits stream, especially for listeners who remember the Radio Aire and Magic AM years.
For listeners in Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax and surrounding parts of West Yorkshire, the station is built around easy, familiar listening. The format is straightforward: big singalong tracks, well-known presenters, local information 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.
