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

"Local Radio" as a concept is pretty much dead now, almost everything on FM at least is networked across the country aside from the odd show here and there and even those aren't really any different from one another across the country.

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).
