Melanie C is among the stars tapped to guest host new LGBTQ+ station Hits Radio Pride.
The new pop-up station will play music from the biggest acts of the 21st century who are much loved by the LGBTQ+ community – including Lady Gaga, Kim Petras, Harry Styles and Ariana Grande – and will feature exclusive interviews with stars including Kylie Minogue, who’s gearing up to release new album DISCO.
Years & Years star Olly Alexander will join regular host Jordan Lee for the very first show on Friday at 8 am UK time, with Anne-Marie, Jess Glynne, MNEK, Sigala, Regard, Ella Henderson and Gok Wan also taking part in the programming.
The channel aims to educate and raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and encourage inclusion and tolerance, and is being held in partnership with The Co-operative Bank and LGBT+ helpline Switchboard, ensuring listeners can get access to support and advice.
A series titled Tough Talks will also air, featuring contributors from the LGBTQ+ community discussing their struggles in relation to their sexuality and identity.
