Hits Radio Bristol is Bauer’s Hits Radio service for Bristol and the West of England, playing current hits, throwbacks and presenter-led entertainment throughout the day. The station sits within the wider Hits Radio network while keeping a Bristol-facing identity through local news, travel and area information.
