Hits Radio is Bauer Media Audio UK's national pop and entertainment radio brand, built around current hits, big throwbacks and presenter-led shows. The station's music mix covers modern pop, dance-pop, chart tracks, 90s favourites, 00s throwbacks, 10s anthems and newer 20s hits, giving it a broader sound than a straight chart playlist.
The station has a strong national identity through Hits Radio UK, but it also sits at the centre of a wider local network. Local Hits Radio versions serve areas including Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Lancashire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire, Coventry and Warwickshire, Bristol, Cornwall, Dorset, Lincolnshire, Teesside, the North East and more. That makes the brand useful for listeners searching for both the main Hits Radio stream and local Hits Radio services by town, city or region.
Hits Radio's personality-led schedule is a major part of the station's appeal. Hits Radio Breakfast with Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr gives the station a high-profile morning show, while Gemma Atkinson and Mike Toolan, Sam Thompson, Sarah-Jane Crawford, Jordan Lee and other presenters help shape the rest of the output. The result is a station built for pop fans who want music, celebrity interviews, entertainment stories, competitions and familiar radio voices throughout the day.
