Information
Greatest Hits Radio 60s is a UK national digital station launched by Bauer Media Audio UK in September 2024. Broadcasting in English via DAB and smart apps, it targets older listeners with a pure 1960s pop and rock format.
The schedule relies on veteran UK broadcasters. Richard Allinson handles mornings. Alex Lester hosts afternoons. Paul Gambaccini takes the evening shift.
Why tune in? The station offers a dedicated escape for fans of the decade without modern chart tracks. RAJAR figures for Q2 2026 show 433,000 weekly listeners who want a strict 1960s format.
Compared to Absolute Radio 60s, Greatest Hits Radio 60s uses mainstream pop and known presenters rather than a pure rock focus. It lacks local FM frequencies, and overnight automated blocks can feel repetitive. Still, the curation works well for genre fans.
Daytime show pacing is steady, and the presenter commentary is straightforward. Late-night automated blocks get repetitive, but daytime hours maintain a solid rhythm.
First air date: 16 September 2024

Comments
- Walter knightGood radio station but why do they keep playing the same songs over and over when there are so many other songs from the 60s that they could play.
- Niel TurnerFantastic 60s sounds all day long!... could possibly play a little more Jerry Lee Lewis tho!
- Iain L McLeanThis is a fantastic radio channel playing 60's music. Music that I listened to during my teens and early 20's. The country saw a huge revolution in music tastes during this time and I often listen to this channel, reflecting back on good times and care-free living.
- M StewartWhy have you dropped spinning the sixties with Steph for an endless stream of adverts and !ess music. In first 20 mins Paul spoke only once.
