History
In 1986, a Bath ILR licence was awarded by the IBA. GWR Radio Bath first broadcast on 22 May 1987.
In its latter years, the station played Hot adult contemporary, ranging from the early 1980s to the current successful chart hits. The station was rebranded on 23 March 2009 in line with the rebranding by Global Radio of most of the One Network.
Up until its closure, the station shared some of its programming with Heart Bristol. However for official licensing purposes Heart Bath and Bristol were listed as one station and audience figures from RAJAR are combined with Heart Wiltshire.
