Simon Mayo hosts Drivetime every weekday at 4pm and The Album Show on Sundays from 1pm.
Simon said of his Drivetime show: "I think the thing about Drivetime is that it is like the flip side of breakfast. You kind of know what an awful lot of people are doing, it's the end of most people's day, they're doing some final bits of work, they're shutting the laptop, they're doing a bit of food preparation, they're driving home. I think it is that sense of camaraderie, it's the end of the day, people want to be cheered up and they want to spend some time with some decent folk on the radio!"

I enjoy sharing my favourite music, and my admittedly freakish knowledge of it, with people who care about that music. I love the opportunity for challenging talk overs, too!"

The easiest method though if you regularly use this radio channel is to create a short personal routine called say 'Greatest' with a starter of 'When I say to my Assistant' of 'Greatest', then with a single action through 'Try adding your own' of 'Play greatest hits radio from rayo'.
At approximately 10.00 am yesterday I lost planet rock radio on channel 0110. Where has it gone? I had to restart my sky Q box 4 times yesterday, I don't know if it's a sky issue or broadband provider issue??? Sky is working fine now, but still no planet rock radio???
I've moved your post into the thread created yesterday. See the post currently marked as the answer. Basically all the Bauer Media stations have closed on the TV platforms. It's a Bauer Media decision.
Never realised we had the radio app. Came on here this morning as I couldn't find GHR, thank you for pointing out the app. Bopping along to the music on GHR whilst doing the housework this morning has been restored
You will find Greatest Hits radio through Sky if you go into Apps-music-radio player. Scroll until you find Greatest hits radio from your region. Click on the heart and it will then appear as a favourite station in radio player.
....... where are you moving to now it is trying to morph into Radio2 ?
I've really enjoyed Greatest Hits for the past few years. I like nearly all the music, and, whenever I switch on for a short time (perhaps a short car journey, or just whilst I'm in the kitchen for a while doing some jobs), there always used to be good music guaranteed.
Since first Simon Mayo, and now especially Ken Bruce have moved over though, it seems half the time I switch on it is just talking. On the Ken Bruce show, including load of 'Joe Public' telling me about their life, then attempting a quiz.
Now, that's all fine if that's what you want to listen to. I am sure they are good at what they do. I understand many listeners have moved from Radio2 to Greatest Hits, but for those of us who just want to listen to the tunes, where do we go next ?
I was an avid radio 2 listener. Trying to get used to greatest hits - like the songs but hate all the ads. Soooo many.
I mainly listen to Absolute, Absolute 80's, Radio X.
I tried Boom radio but couldn't get on with it
I love Ken Bruce but think the music on GHR is dreadful, it's just so boring and samey, with nothing new or any interesting older stuff. I've paid for premium as I can't stand ads, but I might just give up on it altogether soon.
I used to enjoy GHR but found the constant repeat of a few songs got on my nerves, always the same groups or artists
I prefer the huge selection on Absolute I'm quite in to their country channel at the moment or 80's
Heart 90s is good. Lots of music and they don't do the news every hour on the hour either.
Vernon Kay plays good music on radio 2 but chats rubbish, laughs to loud into the microphone and cuts songs at weird times.
Scott Mills just talks about the Eurovision song contest and plays absolutely shocking music.
Sarah Cox does play some good music on radio 2. At 4pm on a Friday she does 3 hours of song requests from listener's and that is usually a good 3 hours of music
Agree with @Gtsr443 about Simon Mayo's album show on Greatest Hits (Sunday lunchtimes). Lots of stuff on there that you rarely hear on the radio. I tend to switch between GH, Absolute and a bit of R2 depending who's on.
Honestly don't rule out Radio 1. I don't know any of the djs and have to switch over if they start talking but the music is better.
Radio 3 in the day can be a lot of fun too. Locally I will listen to Jack FM at times but switch whenever they get one of those breathy male dirge singers.
