Heart Tyne & Wear - Live

Heart Tyne & Wear originally launched as Metro Radio in 1974, serving Newcastle, Sunderland, and the surrounding areas with local music, news, and entertainment. The station became a key part of the region’s radio landscape over the following decades.

In 2009, Metro Radio was rebranded as Heart, joining Global Radio’s Heart Network. Today, Heart Tyne & Wear plays the biggest hits and feel-good favourites, alongside local news, travel updates, and entertainment for listeners across Tyne & Wear.
