Greatest Hits Radio South

Greatest Hits Radio South is a regional radio station broadcasting across the South of England, as part of Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio network.

Coverage
The seven local stations broadcast to Salisbury, Dorset, West Sussex, North Hampshire, Berkshire, Aylesbury and Oxfordshire from central studios in Manchester, Liverpool and London, and a regional studio in Segensworth, Fareham for opt-outs.

History
After acquiring several businesses in early 2019, in May 2020, Bauer Radio announced many of their radio stations would rebrand and join the Greatest Hits Radio network, including several stations in the south of England:


 * Eagle Radio in Guildford
 * Spire FM in Salisbury
 * Wessex FM in Dorchester
 * Mix 96 in Aylesbury
 * Spirit FM in Chichester
 * The Breeze in Andover, Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading, branded as Greatest Hits Radio Berkshire & North Hampshire

Jack FM rebranded and joined the network on 30 October 2023 after being acquired by Bauer.

In March 2024, Wave 105 merged with Greatest Hits Radio South, but retained additional opt outs for breakfast and afternoon shows in the interim.

Programming
During the week most programming is shared with the Greatest Hits Radio network. A regional three-hour afternoon show is broadcast from studios in Segensworth near Fareham by former Spire FM presenter Martin Starke. The former Wave 105 area retains an opt out breakfast show hosted by Rick Jackson and an afternoon show hosted by Mark Collins.

Each localised area in the South has their own latest local news, weather and travel news updates.
