JOY 94.9 is where you'll hear yesterday's bangers and tomorrow's hits played today.

From Up Early and JOY Breakfast through to JOY Drive, allow us to fill your work day with a blend of uplifting, upbeat pop, R&B, remixes and vocal dance sourced from all corners of the world.

We'll mix the best of what you might be hearing elsewhere, with something you won't hear anywhere else and we'll throw in a classic from the 70s, 80s, 90s and the Naughties as well.

We'll make sure you're hearing lots of new music during the day, keeping you up-to-date with many of your favourite artists and many more you'll want to get to know.

The 'sound' your hear is pulled together by our Head of Music, Michael Polh, keeping all these things in mind and ensuring we meet the criteria set out by our own music policy.

You can check out all the music added to the weekday music mix by following our music blog.
