Signal 2

Signal 2 was an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting from studios in Shelton, Stoke-on-Trent, to Staffordshire and Cheshire.

In September 2020, Signal 2 was closed and replaced with a localised version of Greatest Hits Radio.

The station began as Signal Radio which first broadcast at 6 a.m., 5 September 1983, with DJ John Evington selecting Neil Diamond's "Beautiful Noise" as its first track.

In the late 1980s the Independent Broadcasting Authority ordered stations to provide different services on their AM and FM outputs, and 1992 saw the launch of a "Golden Breakfast Show" on the 1170 AM frequency while for the rest of the day it would take the main Signal Radio service.

Headlines were broadcast on the half-hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime shows, alongside thrice daily showbiz bulletins.
