UK Radio Changes In September

Jonathan1990

In September 2020 many local radio stations across the UK are going to loose their local name and programming and will become Greatest Hits Radio or Hits Radio. There is a full list on this website I've put below on what's happening. Could be with loosing business during lockdown.

The thing is though, Most (possibly all by now) of these radio stations were already stripped to the bone and for many years have been just automated jukeboxes with no mone than 5 or 6 DJs on the entire 7 day roaster. Nothing to do with covid 19, this was already happing across the board in the UK radio industry.

Across the pop stations board yes but not all the others such as those with formats such as sports, news, jazz, classical music, etc.
