GWR FM was a network of three radio stations in the south west of England. All three stations were rebranded and joined the Heart Network on 23 March 2009. All GWR FM stations broadcast on FM, DAB Freeview and online. The stations in the network were:

  • GWR FM Bristol - now Heart Bristol - was launched in 1981 as Radio West, it relaunched as GWR in 1985
  • GWR FM Bath - now Heart Bath - first broadcast, as GWR Radio Bath, in 1987, becoming the third station in the network and sharing some programming with the Bristol station
  • GWR FM Wiltshire - now Heart Wiltshire - launched in 1982 as Wiltshire Radio. In 1985, Wiltshire Radio relaunched as GWR, to coincide with the re-launch of the Bristol station
