Heart Bath

Heart Bath broadcasts on 103 FM to Bath and Somerset. The station plays Hot Adult Contemporary hits from the 90s, 00s, and today. Global Media & Entertainment owns the station. It started in 1987 as GWR FM Bath and rebranded to Heart in 2009.

The station features localized advertising, weather, and travel updates for Somerset and the Avon area. It also supports Global’s Make Some Noise charity. RAJAR data for the Heart West market shows a weekly reach above 220,000 listeners. Listeners tune in for local travel bulletins and major pop hits backed by commercial resources.

The station focuses on commercial pop hits and high-profile presenters, differing from BBC Radio Bristol or Radio Bath.

I have listened to commercial radio in the South West for years. Heart Bath provides reliable pop music, but the heavy use of networked programming means less local character than smaller independent stations.
