麻豆约拍

麻豆约拍 Northern Ireland’s output on radio, television and online will complement the 麻豆约拍’s network services and will aim to keep everyone informed, educated and entertained at a time of unprecedented challenge for the whole community.

Peter Johnston, Director, 麻豆约拍 Northern Ireland, says: “We are making every effort to maintain our existing services and understand their importance for 麻豆约拍 audiences. Our priority is to ensure that people can access trusted news, information and advice and that we support them in dealing with the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. Some schedule changes have now become unavoidable, but we are pleased to have been able to keep these to a minimum. We know that the 麻豆约拍’s role in providing services that inform, educate and entertain has never been more vital.”

From Monday 30 March:

Nuala McKeever will continue to present The Lynette Fay Show at 3pm Mondays-Thursdays and Vinny Hurrell will continue to brighten up Friday afternoons at 3pm
• Many 麻豆约拍 presenters are now broadcasting from home and we are using technology and the skills of 麻豆约拍 engineers to maintain our popular mix of sport, farming and entertainment programmes in the 6pm slot on weekday evenings on 麻豆约拍 Radio Ulster. We’ll also continue to cater for different musical tastes and champion local music in our specialist music programmes each night
