Greatest Hits Radio 60s is a UK digital radio station dedicated to the biggest songs of the 1960s: a decade that transformed popular music, youth culture and the sound of radio. Its playlist brings together British beat groups, the Motown sound, American soul, early rock, folk-rock, pop and the records that became enduring classics. From the Beatles and the wider British Invasion to unforgettable vocal groups and solo performers, the station revisits the music that helped shape modern popular culture.
The decade's range is part of the appeal. Listeners can move from Merseybeat and guitar-driven pop to Motown harmonies, girl groups, singer-songwriters, orchestral pop and the early sounds of rock and soul. Greatest Hits Radio 60s celebrates the artists and songs that remain familiar across generations, while its presenter features and themed programmes add stories and context to the records. The station's own description calls the 1960s the decade that changed everything, and its programming reflects the breadth of that musical shift.
The presenter line-up includes familiar national radio voices. Richard Allinson hosts the weekday breakfast show, bringing the biggest songs of the 1960s together with listener features and the 60s Selector. Alex Lester presents weekday afternoons with his 60s Library, while Rossie hosts weekend output from the good ship Rossie's Revenge and Andy Crane presents weekend mid-mornings. The station also carries special features such as Ken Bruce's Secret Sixties and documentaries from presenters including Simon Mayo and Paul Gambaccini.
