10PM-12PM 12PM-2AM 2-6AM SATURDAY Including: “Arena” When the big gigs are on at the Arena, our showbiz reporter, Alex , will be backstage talking to the stars. “Curtain Call” The best of theatre – whether it’s at the Lowry, Palace, Bolton Octagon, Tameside Hippodrome or the Opera House. “The F-word” We’ll get the very best tips on fitness and healthy living. “Comedy Club” The best comedy from Greater Manchester’s comedy clubs, with contributions from stars like Caroline Aherne, Peter Kay and Justin Moorhouse. GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST! “Manchester calling Manchester” The chance to phone, text or email about the issues affecting the lives of people in Manchester. We’ll put the Chief Constable Mike Todd and Manchester Central MP Tony Lloyd on the spot about what they’re doing to reduce gun crime in the city. The listener can respond to contentious claims – such as those by Professor Mark Bellis, that there’s a clear link between young women binge drinking and the dramatic rise in sexually transmitted diseases in Manchester. “Sex in the City” Our nightly emotional rescue, with relationship experts like Julia Gash and Miss Charlie Daniels. What does a young man do when his girlfriend tells him she wants to cool the relationship and have a bit of time to herself? What should a young woman do if she finds herself attracted to her boss? It’s all about relationships or lack of them, sexual health problems and dating – and what did the listener regret doing last night? We’ll also tackle issues like arranged marriages and the increasing number of young people who are self-harming. “The City Never Sleeps” Many radio stations in the area become automated or take network programming at this time of the night. But a big city like Manchester never sleeps. We will have a live presenter who will update local headlines on the hour, take calls and texts from people working through the night and link to some of the best highlights from programmes which were broadcast earlier in the day, which the overnight listener will have missed. It will ensure that we will be the first to know of any overnight breaking national stories and if there is a big local story happening overnight, for example a fatal fire or fatal shooting, we will be the first to get reporters to the scene. 6-9AM BREAKFAST ON A PLATE 9AM-10AM REAL LIFE SOAP STORIES 10-1PM FRIENDS ON SATURDAY 1-1.30PM PICCADILLY REPORTS 1.30-6PM THE SATURDAY CROWD 6-8PM THE BEST OF FRIENDS 8-10PM OPEN HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS 10PM-2AM SEX IN THE CITY 2-6AM THE CITY NEVER SLEEPS Section 105 (B) and (C): Catering for Tastes and Interests/Broadening Choice 35
SATURDAYS 6-9AM 9-10AM BREAKFAST ON A PLATE “Starting Saturday with a Smile” More relaxed than our weekday breakfast show - this is the programme, which will get Manchester in the mood for the weekend. We will focus on some of the daftest stories of the week and we will ask the listener to come up with suggestions for a great day out, whether it’s Lyme Park, Chester Zoo, the latest exhibition at Urbis or even a local event. Including: “Manchester Icons” We will also take a look at some of the significant people and landmarks which have helped make Manchester one of the world’s greatest cities, for example what used to go on at the Printworks, Triangle and Hacienda before they were transformed into some the city’s most fashionable apartments, shopping and leisure complexes. “Paper <strong>Talk</strong>” We will take a look at what is in the Saturday morning papers and ask the listener to come up with their solutions to some of the week’s burning issues, whether it is on lighter topics such as where should Tony Blair go on his “farewell tour” of Britain or on a more serious note should young people have the right to choose which parent they live with? “Goss on the Box” The weekly TV fix. We delve deeper into the world of the small screen with guests including Sean Marley MD of the t.v. company which makes Hollyoaks and Grange Hill. We’ll go behind the scenes of Coronation Street and Shameless, talk to Alice Morrison from North West Vision which finds film companies great locations in Manchester. We’ll look at all the latest story lines in the soaps and serials. We’ll also pay tribute to the Cheshire cartoon empire of Cosgrove Hall who make Dangermouse and Bill and Ben. It is also the chance to hear in simple language what’s happening in the world of digital technology. “Home Style” We will give inspiring ideas on how to improve your home, plan your leisure time and holidays to book. “Smiley People” Listeners tell us what’s made their week. “Boredom Busters” ideas for a great day out – especially if you’ve got children. “Countdown to Kick Off” We will throw the football clichés out of the window and get broadcaster and former England footballer Andy Hinchcliffe to give his thoughts on this weekend’s sporting events. “Brides of the Day” We will talk to brides and grooms as they prepare for their big day and find out where they met, where they will spend their honeymoon and some of their hopes for the future. We will give a special prize to our “bride of the day” and we will stay in touch with some of them – and on anniversaries we’ll find out what has been happening in their lives. We will have local news and sports bulletins every thirty minutes. REAL LIFE SOAP STORIES Who Needs Corrie when people in Greater Manchester have great stories to tell about their own lives? An hour of uplifting or sometimes heart- wrenching real life stories. We will interview listeners about their unusual hobbies whether it is kite surfing or driving locomotives on the East Lancashire steam railway. We will talk to people who have been reunited with friends, family or even former lovers, or “The Christie Crew” a group of young cancer sufferers from Manchester’s famous Christie Hospital, who are campaigning against discrimination in night clubs which won’t allow them in because their strict dress codes forbid the wearing of caps and trainers. We’ll talk to the mum who took on the yobs who were terrorising her neighbourhood in Gorton and Jav Patel who bravely tackled a gunman who tried to rob his Post Office in Rochdale.
