Dawn French’s dulcet tones will soon be heard on Greatest Hits Radio, a rebranded radio network. Bauer, the radio giant behind the station, says the comedian “embodies the station’s brand values”.
Greatest Hits Radio will mainly operate in the north of England, rebranding current stations including Key Radio in Manchester, Radio Aire 2 in Leeds, City 2 Radio in Liverpool and Metro 2 in Newcastle.
Free Radio 80s in the West Midlands will also be rebranded next month and will move to an FM broadcast, replacing Absolute Radio on 105.2 FM
It will play music from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
