Nation Radio South is an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting on 106 MHz & 106.6 MHz FM across the South Coast of England, and on DAB on the South Hampshire, Bournemouth, Sussex, Salisbury and Somerset multiplexes. The station operates as four separate sub-stations (Nation Radio Hampshire, Nation Radio Sussex, Nation Radio Dorset and Nation Radio Somerset) for news and advertising purposes but all four share common programming.
The station is owned and operated by Nation Broadcasting, and was previously run under a brand licence agreement with rival operator Bauer Radio, where the frequencies were used to broadcast Bauer's Greatest Hits Radio. In September 2022, the agreement ended and the station was rebranded to its current name.
As of December 2025, the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 160,000 (119,000 in Hampshire, 21,000 in Sussex, 17,000 in Dorset and 3,000 in Somerset), according to RAJAR.
