Huddle Radio has unveiled its presenter line-up as the new station prepares to bring local chat and great music to listeners across Huddersfield.
Huddle Radio launches at 8am on Tuesday September 1 with a good luck message from Skelmanthorpe actor and former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker.
Leading the weekday schedule is The Morning Huddle with Nick Hancock, weekdays from 7am.
The show features local weather and helpful traffic reports in Huddle Hot Spots.
The new game set to get everyone talking is What’s In The Box? at 8.10am. Then Nick takes you back to the old school at 8.35am with The Camel Club Classic.
Listeners can join the conversation every morning by messaging the studio WhatsApp on 07511 147011.
At 10am, Caroline Verdon hosts The Workday Huddle, including the Workplace of the Week, celebrating local businesses and teams across the area.
After 1pm Huddle Afternoons will feature live reports and interviews from across the community and loads of great music.
From 4pm, Chris Johnson takes over with Huddle Home Time, providing the perfect soundtrack to the journey home with great music and fun quizzes.
At 9pm, listeners can unwind with The Huddle Cuddle, hosted by Ian Clennan, featuring an hour of relaxing chill-out tunes to round off the day.
The weekend schedule includes Sarah Hancock’s Saturday Show from 10am to 1pm, featuring A Brew with Boothy, a chance to hear from behind-the-scenes at Huddersfield Town.
On Saturday evenings, Amanda Charlesworth hosts The Saturday Social from 5pm to 7pm, bringing feel-good music and weekend entertainment.
Sundays begin with 80s v 90s from 9am to midday, hosted by Matt Foister, as two iconic decades go head-to-head.
Then from 5pm to 7pm, Steve Rhodes hosts The Huddle Pub Quiz, giving listeners the chance to test their knowledge and play along from home.
Former Pulse breakfast show presenter Danny Mylo is the station voice, meaning he does the voice-overs. He won’t, however, won’t host his own show. He and Rosie Madison start on the early breakfast show on Radio 1 on September 7.
Listeners can tune in on DAB, from the Huddle Radio website at www.huddleonline.co.uk, through the Huddle Radio mobile app on Apple and Android devices, or by asking their smart speaker: “Alexa, launch Huddle Radio!”
Sarah Hancock, who founded Huddle Radio with husband Nick, said: “We’re building a radio station that puts Huddersfield at the heart of everything we do.
“We’ve got a fantastic team of presenters, some great features and plenty of opportunities for listeners to get involved. We can’t wait to welcome people to the Huddle community.”
