too many multiple copies of heart, too much overlap of coverage areas and beyond.
some frequencies need handing back as its pointless having them as all it does is have global hog the fm band when frequencies could be freed up.

I agree with you; but what can I say! Global - Experts in destroying good local radio stations for the advertising money. Not interested in local content, only do 1 minute news bulletins to get in Ofcoms good books!

Currently listening to Stitches by Shawn Mendes on Heart; they've done what they did with Uptown Funk and made it sound more upbeat with a re-working on the first verse (a beat).

Heart is a national station, Doesn't mean "of course" it has a big share, People can choose not to listen. Of there are several Hearts on a listeners dial doesnt mean they are more likey to listen, There are 100s of other stations.

Heart Essex (Southend/Chelmsford, the former Essex Radio/FM) has a third of the possible audience tuning in. Aside from the bland playlist and inane showbiz/reality TV related prattle they have the two most annoying breakfast presenters ever (even worse than Chris Evans). Quite depressing that so many people in my area listen to this dross.

Yeah that's normal as the stations are listed as different areas. The news, adverts and travel canews be different
Maybe it's just Solent that doesn't do it then. Not that its a terribly big area.

You might find the Dorset station has slightly different news/travel or just mentions lets gave a look at Dorsets road etc.

Heart Cornwallgives a diff phone number to Devon

I wonder if MT is covering drive the following week as she's still in for Matt this week then given her weekends off?

I wonder Who's going to cover for Jamie and Emma on heart London.

How they work it on Sussex in Nicola and Jack cover whilst Tom is off then either Nicola and Jack off when Tom back so there's always either one of them there.
