Greatest Hits Radio extends to Plymouth and Ipswich

The Bauer owned national radio brand Greatest Hits Radio has today extended coverage to Plymouth in Devon on 106.7 FM and tomorrow will extend to Ipswich in Suffolk on 102 FM, overtaking Radio Plymouth and Ipswich 102 respectively. Bauer purchased Radio Plymouth last month and has entered into a brand licence agreement with the Ipswich 102 owners.

All local programming will end except for the drive time show and programmes will now originate from Manchester and Liverpool. GHR has recently expanded across much of the country after purchasing a large number of local radio stations from UKRD and Wireless Group. They have also recently purchased Oldham’s Revolution 96.2 and this is expected to rebrand in the next couple of weeks, extending FM coverage of the Greatest Hits brand across much of Manchester.

To avoid duplicating GHR on DAB on the Suffolk multiplex, Hits Radio will be added. The regional drive time show will be hosted by Rob Chandler on the Ipswich service and Russ Wilcox on the Plymouth service.
