Greatest Hits Radio Wigan & St Helens serves Wigan, St Helens and nearby parts of the North West 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 service is built for two neighbouring but distinct local areas: Wigan in Greater Manchester and St Helens in Merseyside. That matters because the page should not read like a generic North West stream. Listeners in both towns get the wider Greatest Hits Radio format, but with a local service identity that reflects Wigan and St Helens rather than Manchester or Liverpool alone.
For listeners in Wigan, St Helens, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Haydock and nearby areas, 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.
- Kate Thornton: Presents weekday afternoons with music, interviews and stories from the Greatest Hits Radio playlist.
