GHR is not bad, but it was better when it was Radio City 2, I did listen to Heart 90's last week via tunein but after about 2 days it was the same songs at the same time just a different day.
Global Radio axes all regional/local breakfast shows
That is the problem with decades stations - there's only a finite amount of songs to play (though of course some decades have more than others)
And in that already limited choice they will only play the hits because that's what provokes the memories of the audience.
Then there's a station such as Greatest Hits which only plays the biggest most well known music, but has three decades to choose from. Personally I really like GHR, I'm not a fan of heavily formated radio but it is a reliable listen - you always know you'll get something you recognise and normally like.
I wouldn't be surprised if these spin offs do what some linear streaming music services have always done and go niche. There are decades stations and genre stations, how long before we get the likes of 'Radio X 90's Indie'* 'Absolute 70s Prog'
Mind you the BBC are launching a pop up Beatles station next month
*which I would definitely listen to lots

Just spotted the revamped exterior of No. 3 on the Corrie Tour advert just now. Not yet seen on screen yet?

To be fair I haven't watched Neighbours for years, I think it moving to five as it was then I just lost interest. I do think someone had their had screwed on though giving it a revamp a few years ago and bringing back the old logo and a better version of the theme.
Wasn't Sons and Daughters a Aussie soap? I remember that being on itv in the afternoon if I was off school
Home and Away
I haven't watched Home and Away since it left ITV but I was a very long-term viewer of Neighbours. Eventually by early 2017 I was becoming tired of it and I thought I'd have a break. Turns out I never went back. I saw a trailer for it recently and it looks like a completely unrecognisible show now. Maybe both soaps have just run their course?
If you want classic Aussie soaps, I would go for Prisoner Cell Block H or The Sullivans any day. They were fab!

Late night ITV changes
They ran credits for the final edition of Jackpot247 last night which also acknowledged former recent presenters.
The saddest thing about it is that that set has not changed for about 15 years when Challenge Jackpot used to be a satellite channel only! Maybe even longer than that! It even acknowledges that in the ticker below.
I remember when they used to show Lucky Stars on ITV in the early days. Must be about 10 years ago now!

Would have been better if the itv bit was all joined together, but yeah worse one so far.

Was it just to make the most of the good weather? I like it when shows decamp outside for that reason, like when GMB used to do it on the South Bank.
Yeah think so, Roger was there first then the female co-presenter joined him a little later, also brought a similar sofa.
No worries anytime.
North West Tonight
I noticed North West Tonight headed down to near the Blue Peter Garden to do the second half of tonight's show.
