Classic Hits radio

Classic hits centres on familiar songs from earlier release periods and can cross the boundaries of pop, rock, soul and dance. Unlike a single-decade format, the label alone does not define a precise range of years. It points toward a recognisable back catalogue rather than a selection built exclusively around current chart releases.

News and current affairs

News radio focuses on spoken coverage such as reports, interviews, analysis, and current-affairs updates. Short bulletins offer a quick overview, while longer reports and interviews explore the background to a story. When comparing news stations, the balance between headlines and in-depth coverage is a useful distinction.
