With 'More Music Variety' Heart plays the best variety of music with witty banter and celebrity guests. In London, 790, 000 listeners* start their day with a bit of Jamie and Harriet in the morning - jam-packed and star-studded, only the A-listers make it onto the show. But Jamie and Harriet aren't alone. Each of our Heart stations across the UK has its own local breakfast show of the highest standard.
Local breakfast and drive, coupled with national programming from Leicester Square at other times of day, including Saturdays with Emma Bunton, means Global Radio offers the national brand of Heart, delivered both nationally and locally - the best of both worlds.
