BAUER Media will leave St Johns Beacon, also known as Radio City Tower, in Liverpool at the end of the year.

Currently home to the Hits Radio Liverpool and Greatest Hits Radio Breakfast shows, St Johns Beacon has housed Bauer stations and teams since 2000.

It has been announced today (Monday, October 28) that the final shows will be broadcast from the Liverpool landmark on Tuesday, December 24.

Simon ‘Rossie’ Ross has been at the helm of the Greatest Hits Radio Breakfast Show since 2019 having previously been the Breakfast presenter on Radio City 2; whilst Leanne Campbell has been on the Hits Radio Liverpool Breakfast Show for over a decade.

A spokesperson for Bauer Media Audio UK said: “We are incredibly proud to have been part of the vibrant history of the Grade II listed St Johns Beacon.

“This next step allows us to invest in facilities that better support our vision and evolving needs.

“The final shows from St Johns Beacon will air on Tuesday 24th December.

“Following this date, Greatest Hits Radio Breakfast will broadcast nationally from Bauer’s state-of-the-art Northwest hub, whilst Hits Radio Liverpool Breakfast will continue to broadcast from the city.”

Whilst the decision has been taken to not renew the lease on the building, Bauer Media Audio continues to lease the Radio City 96.7 signage and is currently engaging in consultation with the landlord and relevant planning authorities over changing the sign to Hits Radio.
