HOT Gold is part of the HOT Radio family, broadcasting from Poole with a classic hits sound built around upbeat positive music from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The station leans into familiar songs, feel-good oldies and specialist programming, making it a strong choice for listeners who want golden-era music without the colder, automated feel of a generic jukebox.
The station’s strapline, Remember the Good Times, sums up the format neatly. HOT Gold focuses on the music many listeners grew up with, from big singalong tracks to smoother soul-leaning shows and themed evening output. It keeps the sound bright and accessible, while still leaving room for presenter-led shows such as The Golden Mixtape, Love at Eleven and Sunday soul programming.
HOT Gold sits alongside HOT Radio and Xtra Hot within the wider HOT Radio Group. While HOT Radio is the group’s main local community station for Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and Dorset, HOT Gold gives the family a dedicated classics service with a broader oldies appeal across Dorset and the South Coast.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- The Gold Rush: A core HOT Gold show built around wall-to-wall golden hits and the station’s classic 70s, 80s and 90s sound.
