Original 106 is running a competition with a prize to cover the costs of listener’s December electricity bill.

The winners will be the two houses with the most dazzling Christmas light display according to Original 106 and its listeners.
To enter, listeners simply need to snap a photo or capture a video of their outdoor Christmas light displays and tell the station why their festive creation deserves to win.
“Christmas is all about spreading cheer, and this competition is a wonderful way to showcase the creative spirit of the city and shire” said Craig Lumsden, Programme Controller at Original 106.
“We can’t wait to see the amazing light displays that bring the north-east to life during the festive season.”

Former Wave 105 presenter Stuart McGinley is taking over Drive on Easy Radio from Monday.
He joins the full-time line-up, weekdays 3pm till 7pm, after hosting weekend shows recently.
The rest of the schedule is also made up of former Wave 105 jock, with Kate Weston on Breakfast, Andy Jackson on daytime, Tim Allen on evenings and Matt Rogan on Lates.
With weekends being filled by Stuart and Andy, Easy Radio now has local programming across the day seven days a week.
Neil Greenslade, Programme Director at Nation’s Easy Radio said: “With our official audience growing fast and our streaming numbers hitting new highs, we have chosen to dramatically increase our local programming at Easy Radio.
“Listeners can now find their All Time Favourite songs, alongside friendly local presenters, seven days a week. I can’t wait to see Easy’s further growth into 2025 and beyond.”
Easy Radio has just added DAB coverage in Dorset to its existing Hampshire, West Sussex and Isle of Wight footprint, and has more than doubled its audience over the past 12 months according to RAJAR.
