Hits Radio - West Midlands

I am absolutely fed up with over half the songs being edited down to oblivion particularly the throwbacks. Bauer Media is beyond obsessed with playing the pesky ultra shortened versions of songs and it drives me balmy. The throwback hour (10-11am daily) is the worst. Every single song there is cut short. Imagine really enjoying a delicious meal only to have your plate snatched off you halfway through. That’s how I feel when a great throwback is played that I haven’t heard for a long time only for it to be cut short. It should NOT be about squeezing in as many songs in as possible by editing them down horribly. THROWBACK TUNES MATTER. They should NOT be cut short. Bauer are vile. It was never like this back when Orion Media owned the stations.

I listen to this station in the car so was happy to download the app so can listen in the house. Lovely clear sound, only criticism is the playlist stops updating. So instead of showing what music is being played in real time, it sticks on something that was played hours ago! Doesn’t matter how many times I close the app or switch the phone off/on, it’s still stuck. Annoying as I like to listen to the songs and see who’s singing it!

AAA+++ Great music, Presenters, traffic etc etc.. Love this station!!!..THE BEST!!!! I only have one request/helpful criticism... When doing Road traffic updates..please dont say will update in 2 mins... I.e. Accident on M6 will update in 2 minutes, please say it there and then as this one time I thought should I go round and round island 50 times and wait or have police pull me over so I took slip Rd hoping it wouldnt be my junction only to find it was.. 1 hour later and red in face this could of been avoided by saying it ASAP... What's the point in telling us an update in a few minutes as to late then! Say it now please.. then say it again im 2 mins as well when it's very important info.👀 😬👍 Hope this is a helpful criticism to an already brilliant station as we never stop learning to make us even greater 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
