Heart Dorset is the local Heart service for Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Dorset, giving listeners a county-focused version of Heart’s feel good radio format. The station blends upbeat pop, familiar favourites and entertainment with local information for towns, coastal communities and travel routes across the area.

The local feed is useful because Dorset has a mix of busy town centres, coastal roads, rural routes and seasonal visitor traffic. Journeys around Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Weymouth, Dorchester and the A31, A35 and A338 can change quickly, so local travel and weather updates give the station practical value beyond the music.

Heart Dorset carries Heart’s wider schedule and recognisable presenters while keeping the stream tied to Dorset. That makes it a strong everyday option for listeners who want Heart’s polished sound with local news, traffic and travel information connected to Bournemouth and the wider county.

The station is broad, bright and easy to keep on through the day. It is not trying to be specialist radio; its strength is feel good songs, familiar voices, light entertainment and useful Dorset updates in one simple stream.

• Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden: Heart Breakfast brings feel good music, entertainment, listener features and big national moments to weekday mornings.
