I'm pretty sure Real North East rajars haven't done too well recently, the Real Network has merged into Heart anyway interms of playlist / tacky competitions etc, so it won't be too long for the fatal Heart is coming.
Wouldn't rule this out at all now Heart are already expanding the brand further into Cornwall. This is a sign Global want th Heart brand to b expanded further and taking over Real means they'll get coverage in places as far as Yorkshire and Scotland, just what Global want probably.
Sadly wherever you listen to it HEART is the same. Only difference is Breakfast and Drive LOCAL hosts but NATIONAL playlist.:D
GMG Bauer Global take your pick Ladies and Gentlemen...
Magic,Smooth,Real,Gold other than ads Traffic and a couple of minutes Local news they are all National
GWR sure as hell have a lot to answer for ......
:Just slightly off thread the Century /Real FM station in the Midlands is the only one that due to listeners and licence requirements didnt succumb. It is now GEM 106.. A nod to the fondly remembered GEM am which GWR slaughtered and still very rightly missed in the East Midlands
As far as I know still independent but for how long?????
Hitmusic wants it on 105.4 FM in Manchester. DAB doesn't here the same feeling.
I can understand that but unless they buy an FM station like Tower or the Revolution still as yet not owned by the big three and re brand it wont happenAlso to cover the area fully any of those stations would have to be pumped up signal wise causing interference with others:mad:
Cant see the Radio Authority or whatever they call themselves now would be too happy either:(

As an Aside we live two miles and a bit from Manchester City centre 105.4 reception isnt that great.never has been and thats with a decent roof top aerial

As I've already said, you can get Heart on DAB in Manchester, so I really don't get your problem?
Yes I can listen online, tv dab, smart phone and all that jazz BUT it's not on NORMAL radio.....you know how most normal people listen to radio. In the car etc

And given this thread, it's ironic that that was Heart before it was rebranded!

Same company right?!
My own personal like would be to have Heart in Manchester on fm radio, THAT IS ALL.
Yes, unless you think I was talking about Key 103 or Metro Radio.
And if that happened i'm sure you'll be changing your username right?
I'd say that's a safe bet, although XS's FM coverage is reduced to the Manchester and Paisley/Glasgow areas.
