Overview[edit]

The network launched on 5 January 2015 as the "Bauer City 2 Network",[1] and rebranded on 7 January 2019 due to the success of Radio City 2 in Liverpool on FM.[2]


As of April 2023, the network consists of 18 local and regional radio stations operating over 50 FM and DAB licences in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as a national DAB station[2] in areas not served by a local Bauer-owned licence.


In most cases, the stations are networked, apart from a three-hour regional afternoon show on weekdays and localised opt-outs for news, weather, travel and advertising.
