These are in addition to where you can already find us on FM in Bristol, Dorset and across Greater Manchester.
There will also be new local versions of Hits Radio in Lincolnshire, Cornwall and the East Midlands on DAB.
Outside of the areas listed above Hits Radio is available in most parts of the UK via DAB, our app, online and by smart speaker ‘PLAY HITS RADIO’. If you are not in these locations, you will still be able to listen to us in the usual way, on DAB, online and on our app.
We'll continue to soundtrack your day, but wherever you are travelling in the country you’ll now see Hits Radio in more places and hear us in more ways.
If you are listening to Hits Radio via DAB in many of the areas listed above, on April 17th you may need to re-tune your radio to find us. This is because we’re launching new local versions of Hits Radio in these areas of the country. In each location you will get local news, weather and travel PLUS a new breakfast show specifically for that area!
If you still want to listen to our national breakfast show with Angellica, James and Matt you can do so by selecting Hits Radio (UK) on our website or app and by asking your smart speaker to ‘PLAY HITS RADIO UK’
For any further queries, please get in touch and we’ll be able to help feedback@hitsradio.co.uk
