Heart Somerset is the Somerset local version of Heart, broadcasting across the county with a focus on Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and surrounding towns. The station brings Heart’s feel-good music format together with local information for listeners across Somerset.
The station has strong local roots through Orchard FM, the Somerset commercial radio name many listeners knew before the service became part of Heart. That history gives Heart Somerset a proper county connection rather than making it feel like a plain national stream.
Heart Somerset is built for everyday listening, with upbeat pop, familiar favourites, entertainment-led presenters, local news and travel updates. It suits listeners commuting around Taunton, travelling between Somerset towns, working locally or keeping the radio on at home.
The 102.6 FM signal gives the station broad Somerset coverage, while 96.5 FM supports Taunton and 97.1 FM helps cover South Somerset and the Yeovil area. DAB and online listening make it easier to hear the Somerset Heart feed without relying on local FM reception.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- JK and Amanda Holden: Heart Breakfast brings a major morning show to Heart Somerset, with feel-good music, entertainment, celebrity guests and listener features.
- Ashley Roberts: Ashley Roberts is part of Heart’s breakfast line-up, adding entertainment, showbiz and music features to the morning schedule.
- Pandora Christie: Pandora Christie presents on Heart with a bright daytime sound, feel-good music and friendly presenter links.
