It's a weekend Sue Sweeney sandwich on Radio Newcastle
91Èȱ¬ Radio Newcastle announced today a new
presenter line-up for weekends.
Ìý
The North East comic and Radio Newcastle presenter Sue Sweeney will be hosting a morning and an evening show on both Saturday and
Sunday.
Ìý
Sue's new weekend shows start on Saturday 2 February from
9.00am to 1.00pm and continues on Saturday evening 10.00pm to 1.00am.
Ìý
On
Sundays she's on from 9.00am to 1.00pm and again from 10.00pm to
1.00am.
Ìý
How does she feel about being possibly the hardest-working woman
in radio?
Ìý
Sue says: "I'm thrilled to bits to be chatting to my
listeners, not once a day, but twice!
Ìý
"The best thing about radio is the stories I get from my listeners
and the laughs we have at the weekend. I'm really looking forward
to my new routine."
Ìý
Radio Newcastle Editor Andrew Robson says: "Sue is a great North
East personality and a first-class entertainer. She makes every
show a must-listen. There is no doubt that Sue creates radio
with character."
Ìý
Also joining the weekend line-up on Radio Newcastle is afternoon
presenter Alfie Joey, whose weekday highlights will feature in
Alfie's Comic Cuts on Saturdays (1.00-2.00pm).
Ìý
And after the traditional Saturday afternoon North East Sport (2.00-6.30pm), Jamie Wilkinson will present Saturday Night Beat
Surrender (6.30-10.00pm) for people who love to play the odd bit
of air guitar.
Ìý
Jamie says: "It'll be stuff like The Jam, The Kinks and Kaiser
Chiefs. It'll be a great listen if you're getting
ready to go out, but it's fine with me if you're staying in as
well!"
Ìý
Radio Newcastle favourite Garden Mania moves an hour later in its
Sunday lunchtime slot (1.00-2.00pm), Kathy Secker's afternoon
Dedications programme will be extended by an hour (2.00-5.00pm), followed by Paddy MacDee's Solid Gold Sunday with hits
from the Sixties and Seventies which is also extended by one hour (5.00-7.00pm).
Ìý
Frank Wappat stays in his usual Sunday evening slot of
7.00 to 10.00pm with his blend of music and nostalgia.
