Heart Wiltshire live

Heart Wiltshire covers Swindon, Salisbury and the county around them, carrying Heart's national programming with local news and advertising. It comes from GWR, the Swindon station that grew into one of the most influential groups in British commercial radio: GWR's own expansion in the 1990s eventually produced GCap Media, which Global bought in 2008 and rebranded to Heart. In that sense a good deal of the modern network traces back to this part of Wiltshire. What survives locally is now limited. Since Ofcom relaxed the rules on networked programming in 2019, stations like this one take the national Heart schedule and insert regional news, travel and commercials rather than producing their own shows. It is the standard settlement across the group. The music is Heart's usual broad adult pop — recent hits sitting alongside songs the audience already knows — aimed at the same listeners BBC Radio Wiltshire is chasing from the other direction.
