Radio Borders is the familiar local radio name for the Scottish Borders and North Northumberland, now operating as Greatest Hits Radio Scottish Borders & North Northumberland within Bauer's network. The station has been part of the local radio landscape since 1990 and still matters because the Borders is not some generic region you can flatten into national radio mush.

The station's current sound is built around classic hits and Greatest Hits Radio-style programming, with regional news, travel and local information keeping the service relevant to listeners in places such as Galashiels, Selkirk, Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose, Peebles and Berwick-upon-Tweed. That local footprint is the real value here: people looking for Radio Borders are usually looking for a station connected to the Borders area, not just any oldies stream.

Although the public-facing brand has shifted into the Greatest Hits Radio family, Radio Borders still has strong recognition locally. For listeners, this page should make it clear that they can stream the Borders service live, understand the station's current identity, and still find the local radio name they remember.
