Heart Digital
Heart Digital was a digital radio network of stations that broadcast on DAB Digital Radio in the North East of England (on the MXR North East multiplex), the North West of England (MXR North West), Yorkshire (MXR Yorkshire), South Wales and the West of England (MXR Severn Estuary) and in Central Scotland (Switch Scotland), as part of the Heart Network. Heart Digital has now ceased, and where it could be previously heard listeners now hear London's Heart 106.2 instead. Global also used this same approached with their Galaxy branded stations, where Galaxy Yorkshire has replaced Galaxy Digital.
Background
The stations are currently in the Mixed Hit Music format, although some suggest that they broadcast strong Adult contemporary music. The station's breakfast show was a delayed simulcast of Heart 106.2's breakfast show with Jamie Theakston and Harriet Scott. Other presenters included Paul Hollins and Steve Denyer. The station's Programme Manager was Carol Cheetham.
Saturday nights from 6 pm had a show called "Club Classics" - eight hours of commercial and speech-free disco music. These days, it is now presenter-led.
Chrysalis Radio Sold
On 25 June 2007 it was announced that Heart along with its sister stations The Arrow, LBC and Galaxy were to be sold for £170 million to Global Radio from Chrysalis Radio.[1]
