Lunchtime bulletin, runs for six minutes at 12:30 Mon - Fri.
Give Us A Tune, a music requests and dedications programme broadcast on Friday evenings from 6pm - 7pm.

During the winter season, additional local programming is also provided. This generally contains slots covering local nature, food, football, film, health, history, politics, music and more.^[3]
