The station was rebranded from West Sound to Greatest Hits Radio Dumfries and Galloway on 3 April 2023. ^[3]^[4]

History

Westsound began broadcasting in May 1990, from studios at Campbell House in the grounds of the Crichton Estate, under the name South West Sound FM.

The station later moved to studios in Dumfries's shopping centre, The Loreburne Centre, where it remained until its local shows were axed in 2019.

On 3rd April 2023, Westsound rebranded to form Scotland’s first national commercial radio station, Greatest Hits Radio, along with its sister stations from the Scottish Greatest Hits Radio Network and Radio Borders. Seven hours of Scottish programming were retained, Ewen & Cat At Breakfast and Webster in the afternoons.

Programming and presenters

Much of the station's programming is produced in Greatest Hits Radio's studios in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Some output is produced from GHR's Birmingham, London and Manchester studios and broadcast on both networks in Scotland and England.^[5]

Presenters currently on Greatest Hits Radio Dumfries & Galloway are; Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey (Ewen & Cat At Breakfast, weekdays 6-10am), Ken Bruce (weekdays 10am-1pm), Kate Thornton (weekdays 1pm-4pm), Simon Mayo (Drivetime weekdays 4pm-7pm and Album Show Sunday 1pm-4pm), Jackie Brambles (Monday-Thursday 7pm-10pm), Martin Kemp (Friday 7pm-10pm), Andy Crane (Sunday-Thursday 10pm-1am), Des Paul (Rhythm Of The Night Friday and Saturday 10pm-1am).

News

The station broadcasts local news bulletins hourly from 6am to 7pm on weekdays and from 7am to 1pm at weekends. Headlines are broadcast on the half-hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime shows, alongside sport and traffic bulletins.

National bulletins from Sky News Radio are carried overnight with bespoke networked Scottish bulletins on weekend afternoons, produced from Radio Clyde's newsroom in Clydebank.
