Greatest Hits won’t read these reviews or do anything but I’m supporting all the other people who have become dissatisfied with the current state of Greatest Hits Radio
I thought it was just me getting too old thinking the Greatest Hits Radio has really gone down the tubes so far it is indescribable.
I used to love listening to this radio at home and in the car, but unfortunately there are only two DJs and one quiz I listen to. So I’m in Mayo show in the afternoon and Sunday is excellent. Andy Crain put on a good show without being condescending..
The channel has descended into nothing more than a begging for money channel, an Americanised a d now” a word from our sponsors” channel, and a constant repetitive drawn out advertisement for gambling
I understand the rationale of putting stupid ridiculous annoying adverts on long enough that people will be conned into praying for a Radio to avoid adverts, but that does not remove the constant begging and push pushing of gambling.
Some of the advertisements are absolutely disgraceful but as a man if I complain I will be branded is sexiest, however some of the adverts for feminine products are disgusting and my female partner totally agrees. Whoever vets. these must be on the payroll.
As for the show between one and four weekdays, what a total and utter waste of time effort and money. A condescending voice. More phoning rubbish the music seems to go on. And a woman that constantly laughed at her around jokes. Is this the best you can do, Greatest Hits Radio. Unfortunately, I won’t be listening anymore but I know I’m just one voice amongst all of these other negative voices on trustpilot goodbye thank you for your early service but your standards have really fallen so low now.

Used to listen to greatest hits radio when it first came on air, but now only listen to simon mayo on his sunday album show, its the only time they play different songs, the rest of the week its the same songs repeated daily, they say we play the greatest hits but only the same two from david bowie, bob marley , only ever baker street, islands in the stream and so on, ive tuned into radio caroline on 648 am, bit crackly but at least you get different music played

Absolutely fed up of all the adverts about horse racing, it’s time to stop advertising animal abuse and cruelty, horses are routinely killed on racetracks, 42 this year already, it’s disgraceful

This station is so boring. Considering it's meant to play the greatest hits from 70s, 80s and 90s, so 3 decades of music yet it sticks to the same loop of songs over and over again. What were once classics I can't bare to listen to because they are played so much. I've changed station now. Couldn't cope with that ELO song one more time. Surely someone from their team must read these reviews... This station is so monotonous and boring and just gets on my nerves now, it's like a station constantly stuck on repeat.

Worst station ever. What on earth were you thinking Brucey.

Agree with other posts, limited playlists and same tracks repeated every 2 or 3 hours, need more variety of music to suit wider range of listeners. Presenters constantly promoting services/products - leave it to the ad slots. Presenters also continually promoting competitions - other gambling ads usually have gamble responsibly message.

This used to be a good station,but today with to many adverts to pay for that stupid raffle once a week.it wont encorage listners but like me will turn it over or better still turn it off
I cant see them lasting long

Too many adverts,only listen to pop master and change stations straight after. Fed up with make me a winner and Welsh government propaganda

Listening to Greatest Hits Radio is like the movie “Sliding Doors”. The same tracks and the same artists are played over and over again such as Rod Stewart, Meatloaf, Phil Collins, Madonna, George Michael, etc, etc. And the way they keep advertising “Make Me A Winner” is deplorable: Actively encouraging listeners to gamble their money away when there is only a 1:200,000 chance of winning, with one particular presenter stating “Do it now, now is good”. Dreadful! The ONLY redeeming feature is Ken Bruce with “Pop Master” but why he joined such a terrible radio station is beyond me …

A rare achievement attained - a news bulletin with ALL the placenames pronounced incorrectly. With the Cornish language now having the same level of protection as Welsh, Irish and Scottish, you'd think a radio station called Greatest Hits Cornwall might make an effort to get it right. Apparently not.

It’s turned into the KB chat show. Play some music please. Boring show once Ken took over. I’ve switched to another station.

Only listen to this because of Ken Bruce and usually turn off after his show ends. Echo what everyone else says about repetitive playlists. I can almost set my watch by the time i know that they will be playing “She’s Electric” every day!

Lots of repetition of songs, need a better playlist. Adverts are appalling and repetitive. I have to switch off when the Viking advert comes on

Came over to GHR with Ken, some decent presenters, Ken, Simon, Rossie & Richard, but I’ve had enough of the crass incessant pushing of ‘make me a winner’ - it seems to be more important than everything else, and is aimed at those who can’t really afford it, and despite what they say, it IS a form of gambling, of which there is generally too much advertising. I would love to know how much this is making for Bauer! I’m also fed up with constantly being told to link my account to Rayo every time I use the Echo. I can take or leave the ‘normal’ advertising most of which is irrelevant to me. I’ve now had enough……….like many of my friends I’m going back to Radio2

GHR was very good at first but more recently the playlist has been getting very repetitive. They should have plenty to choose from over the 70s, 80s and 90s (and some 60s) but still seem to manage to be very repetitive. The ridiculous obsession with top 500 and 100 rundowns doesn't help and is getting very boring. It would be better to dump that idea and just play a varied playlist IMO. It seems to have lost its way a bit. If it doesn't improve I'll be moving on.

Totally ruined, by to many adverts.!!! (AND ALWAYS THE SAME ONES). if you take out gingles +advertising +news. There in only about 35 mins of music!! I listen to the radio to hear music. NOT DRIBBLING.!!

Continuity continues to be appalling; over playing of records, news and weather items and gingles.

A traffic reporter on ‘South Coast’ that is incapable of pronouncing the place names correctly.

A Make Me a Winner competition that is clearly making so much money it now has completions which people don’t have to pay to enter. Absolutely ridiculous. Where is the regulation?

This station should be called greatest adverts, play 2min song and 6min of adverts, utter rubbish, gone back to radio 2,

Decided, for the first time ever, to enter the Make Me a Winner competition. Spent £5 but did not receive a receipt or any notification whatsoever that I had entries into the draw. I have checked my bank account and they have taken the money. What a surprise. I also agree with the other reviews; far to many adverts, to much selling competitions and the music is very repetitive.

Seems the weekly text competition to win money is very biased to the north this based on the history of the winners locality
