Heat Radio is Bauer's pop and entertainment station, built around 90s, 00s and 10s pop bangers with the same glossy showbiz energy people associate with the Heat brand. It is not trying to be a serious music discovery station, and that is fine. Its job is simple: big familiar pop songs, celebrity stories, entertainment updates and a bright, easy-going sound.
The station is especially useful for listeners who want pop music from the late 90s through to the 2010s without being dragged too far into current chart radio or older classic hits. Expect a mix of artists and tracks that fit the Heat audience: throwback pop, feel-good singalong tracks, girlband and boyband favourites, dance-pop, chart anthems and the kind of songs that make background radio feel instantly familiar.
Heat Radio also has a stronger editorial angle than a basic decade playlist because it sits close to entertainment, TV, celebrity and pop culture. That gives the station a different feel from a plain 90s or 00s jukebox: the music is the core, but the surrounding brand is built around showbiz, fun and pop culture rather than dry rotation.
Notable Presenters & Shows: Matt Crabb presents Heat Radio breakfast with the biggest 90s, 00s and 10s pop bangers, Maxine Knight presents daytime Heat Radio programming, and Jennie Longdon hosts the afternoon show. Heat Radio's Hitlist keeps the biggest songs coming, while themed shows such as We Love Girlbands, We Love 10s Pop, We Love 00s Pop and Heat Radio with Jordan-Lee give the schedule a more focused pop identity.
