Automation and Local Programming
It is necessary at certain times to automate our programmes. This is where the presenter has pre recorded their links but is not necessarily in the studio at the time the programme is broadcast.
We will pre record up to 7 hours a day, out with daytime hours.
The non-stop music element of Original overnight is also automated.
All programming is produced locally.
Charity Support
Original 106 carry daily “What’s on Guides” which promote local events taking place, whether it be music gigs, art shows or charity fundraisers. Listeners can submit their own events to our what’s on guide.
Original 106 also have a nominated charity with which we do more on air related work with and help support and raise funds.
We change our nominated charity on an annual basis.
