Global
Global is the UK’s biggest commercial radio group, made up of former stations owned by Chrysalis, GMG, GWR, Capital and others.
It runs a network of eight brands – Heart, Capital, Smooth, Classic, LBC, Capital Xtra, Radio X and Gold.
Many of its radio stations in the list below are made up of merged licences, which may provide unique content in more locations, but day-to-day share the same programmes. Global has announced plans to reduce the number of ‘radio stations’ it provides by further merging some of the stations in the list. We’ll update when that happens.
