Now they have to conform to the Hits Radio schedule which is quite shit.

I vaguely remember frequencies for the North East stations although mine differed from the above as it lined up with Teesside rather than Newcastle,
96.6FM - TFM (think Metro was 97.1FM?)
100.7FM - Century > Real > Heart
103.2FM - Alfa 103.2 > Star Radio
1170MW - Magic 1170
Another buried in my mind from family holidays in Blackpool is 96.5FM which was Wave 96.5 > Radio Wave (now Greatest Hits Radio).
This could be another reason. Other than DAB and Spotify!
