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 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 September 2024, the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 127,000, according to RAJAR.

Following that station's rebranding, a number of former Wave 105 presenters have moved to broadcast on Nation Radio South, including Steve Power, Mark Collins, Tony Shepherd, Andy Jackson, Stuart McGinley, Gary Parker, Tim Allen, Selina Ross and Kate Weston.
