Hits Radio, the reincarnation of Key 103, began broadcasting this morning with the breakfast show fronted by Strictly star Gemma Atkinson and former Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones.
Hits is the first national commercial radio station to be broadcast from Manchester. Jones had the honour of saying the first words on the station following a song by Manchester favourites Take That.
“That was Greatest Day by Take That, the song you chose as the first ever song to be played on Hits Radio,” he said. “Good morning. If you’re listening to this it means I’ve pressed the right button.”The station is aimed at the 25-44 demographic and ‘Comedy Dave’ Vitty will be among the other presenters.
