Nation adds extra local shows to the Easy Radio South schedule as Stuart McGinley takes Drive

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.
