Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire  Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire is a local radio station owned and operated by Bauer as part of the Greatest Hits Radio network. It broadcasts to West Yorkshire on 828 AM and DAB radio. The station started out as Radio Aire on its medium wave / AM frequencies and was launched on 1 September 1981. Initially broadcast on 362 metres medium wave (828 kHz AM) and 94.6 VHF (the VHF/FM frequency was moved to 96.3 in 1986), Radio Aire split its AM and FM output to form two different stations in 1990. The AM service was named Magic 828 and was launched by Roger Kirk at 8:28am on 17 July 1990, with the first song played being "Magical Mystery Tour" by The Beatles. The 'Magic 828' name was created by Bob Preedy who was a presenter on Radio Aire at the time. Its first jingle package was produced by "Century 21" and the voice-overs were voiced by John Myers. The programmes between 6am and 1am were broadcast live from Studio 2 in Radio Aire's Burley Road studio complex in Leeds. The original weekday line-up was Roger Kirk (6am-9.30am), Ray Stroud (9.30am-1pm), "The Magic Mix" (1pm-2pm), Peter Tait (2pm-6pm), "Nothing But The 60's" (6pm-7pm), Mike Vitti (7pm-10pm), Alex Hall (10pm-1am) and The Superstation (1am-6am). A few months after Magic 828's launch, The Superstation closed, Andy Siddell took over evenings and Mike Vitti presented the new overnight programme, "Nightflight". The "Nightflight" programme was simulcast on Aire FM & Magic 828 and broadcast between 1am & 6am from Studio 1 (the studio used for Aire FM). Local news during the early 1990s was also simulcast on both stations, although Aire FM only took the first two minutes of the bulletin. After Emap bought Radio Aire and Magic 828 in 1995, they began to roll the Magic brand out across the other AM stations in the group, creating Magic 1161 (Hull), Magic AM (Sheffield), Magic 1152 (Newcastle), Magic 1170 (Teesside), Magic 999 (Preston), Magic 1548 (Liverpool) and Magic 1152 (Manchester).
