Awful especially in the mornings. Amanda Holden is unbearable really not in touch with the real world or her listeners,we don't really need to know about her perfect life home and garden all the time.... See more

Music stuck in a rut. Expand the decade not just same old same old

The problem in Heat 70s And 80s only seam to use the same songs day in and day out , theres 10 years in a decade try playing from 70-79 And 80 -89 not just the chosen few ,again and again , we all have different memories of these years SO PLEASE WIDEN YOUR CHOICE ACROSS THE YEARS

What can one say about Heart that is…

What can one say about Heart that is complimentary? I know the answer so I won't need to bother to put it here in writing.
There was a time when Heart was decent, then, Thanks to GMAP, they became corporate, ruining the station and ruining regional ILR stations by taking them over and imposing centralised playlists and 'deejays', phishing for income with stupid quizzes that only encourage people to think 'oh I know the answer, I'll text it and win' and taking the individuality out of local broadcasters. Heart is best described as radio by numbers.
Bring back local radio without Heart or GMAP involved. That goes for C(r)apital as well.

What a pathetically small playlist this radio station has. I’m forced to listen to it at work and it’s the same old songs on a loop every single day. Stick Season by Noah Kahan must get played 6/7 times a day, Olly Murs, Pink and Black Eyed Peas not far behind. Boring, bland and banal in the extreme and then some.

Heart FM Competition's are fake and…

Heart FM Competition's are fake and most winners are actually people who are paid to pretend they win. No radio station can afford to give £300,000 out just before the bank holiday in August 2024. That's just the ten thirty thousand winners. Also you can tell it is fixed because if you win thirty thousand and you are supposed to be in a car with the family of one of the winners no reaction at all. That tells you it is definitely fixed. This Radio station keeps on sending me nonstop text messages to enter there competitions and I had to block them. I have reported the heart FM radio station because I rang them up and told them to stop sending me text messages for there competitions and even after ringing them up to tell them to stop they even sent more and more after.

If you like crap music you'll love hearts play list. if you love been LGBT groomed you'll love heart. but no one does so instead listen to hits fm far better playlist can't beat big John at breakfast. Heart fm has to pay for its listners with big money games which is well embarrasing

Groundhog Day FM

I have been subjected to this dire radio station at work for the last 8 weeks. Thankfully as it’s a factory it’s almost impossible to hear what the presenters are saying but unfortunately the music is loud and clear.
If you listen to Heart for a few days you would assume that music didn’t exist before the 90’s and that very few songs had been written or recorded since then. It seems like Groundhog Day every day or that my employer has recorded 8 hours worth of Heart and plays it back to us every day.
How can anyone listen to this drivel for more than a few days without turning off. It’s the same few songs and artists day after day and nothing changes. If I were a presenter I would have quit in less than a week having to play the same crap over and over again. Who are they trying to appeal to? The music is the worst of the worst. Heart don’t just scrape the bottom of the barrel but break through the bottom and beyond. Olly Murs, Bruno Mars, Adele, Coldplay, Ed Sheeren, Robbie Williams, Jess Glynne, Ellie Goulding, Lewis Capaldi, Kings of Leon (the one “rock” act for people who would never listen to proper Rock I.e. Metal), John Legend, Callum Scott and many others who I have no idea, nor do I care who they are 🤮🤮🤮
This is just about the worst radio station anyone could ever experience and if I could I wouldn’t even give it a rating as it doesn’t deserve one. Finally, listening to this station is not good for anyone’s mental health. Heart should be put out of its misery

Would like to hear more upbeat songs like Espresso or Calm down by Rema!! Can’t stand listening to Lewis Capaldi every hour. They should change their playlist more often. Also what’s with Stick Season playing 24/7 😭😭

The games do appear to be rigged

The games do appear to be rigged. Whenever there is a roll over prize, like in splash the cash, it just happens to build up to the most it's ever been on the last day and on the last chance someone just happens to win it. Seems very predictable.

I feel really short changed,and confused over this heart splash the cash competition they asked a question at 3.06pm today,so i text my answer but they didnt even sound the claxton or ring any one back so i feel you have made thousands and not even given anyone a chance to win so why ask a question if your not ringing people back!!!!!

Heart radio really need to have a very…

Heart radio really need to have a very close look at how some of their competitions can affect the mental health of people who enter. Their most recent competition, Heart, Splash the Cash, has the abilitiy to seriously affect someone's mental health if they answer their phone incorrectly - what if that person is vulnerable, has mental health battles due to the cost of living, you call them... they say the wrong phrase and then lose £10,000 or more? How do you think that will affect someone? Global in general speak of being mental health advocates but this competition is anything but advocating for someone's mental health. Change the way the game is played, and perhaps even think about choosing 10 winners who all win £1,000 each, making our odds of entering to win better! Heart needs to do more to increase the chances of listeners winning, because a lot of people enter through desperation. I hope this review is taken into serious consideration.

This radio station is just as bad as GHR, or worse! Absolute Radio all the way. You hear exactly the same cheesy 80s songs on GHR no different. If you’re going to play 80s, atleast look for different artists you could play, or play a different song from that artist. If you want people to listen to your station you’d change that habit like most stations nowadays.
Heart Dance is the only station that does stand out, take a leaf from that station.
