Presenter David White
will be livening up Saturday mornings across the county with a new programme
on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Cornwall from 22 January.
Μύ
The David White show will be a mixture of his popular week programme
features with a few added extras for the weekend.
Μύ
Celebrity guests will be keeping David company in the studio as he'll
play his popular selection of chart topping hits and golden oldies.
Μύ
David says: "I can't wait, I really can't wait
Β– even though I'm giving up my lie-in!
Μύ
"Saturday's my favourite day of the week. People
aren't working, everyone's in a good mood Β– it's going to be so
much fun."
Μύ
There will be new quizzes on Saturday to entertain the
listeners and David wants to hear from all kinds of sports teams who'd
like to take part in his penalty shoot out with a difference.
Μύ
Netball teams will be challenging football teams, and
gymnastic teams will be up against rugby clubs as David puts their knowledge
to the test.
Μύ
Budding presenters, researchers and trailmakers take
note as David is searching for a new side kick.
Μύ
'Apprentice' will see reality radio at it's best as
the hopefuls will be given a variety of tasks from making adverts to
placing features in the local newspapers to see if they can make the
grade.
Μύ

into the quiz please email davidwhiteshow@bbc.co.uk
Μύ
David is no stranger to Saturday mornings on Radio Cornwall
as he started his career 17 years ago presenting in exactly the same
slot.
Μύ
He's also worked for various Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ radio stations including
Radio 2.
Μύ
"Once I was working promoting Jonathan Ross and
now IΒ’m up against him on Saturday mornings," he says.
Μύ
Also new to the schedule will be a Saturday afternoon
programme with the crazy duo Pam and Debs.
Μύ
Earlybird Naomi Rowe kicks off Sunday mornings
and Tim Hubbard takes a break from his usual news-based programme
as he invites you to make the most of your Sunday mornings.
Μύ
With features on gardening, cooking, reading and walking
there will be plenty of inspiration for weekend activities.
Μύ
Nicci Holiday, Managing Editor of Radio Cornwall, is
extremely excited about the new weekend schedule.
Μύ
"It's a brand new feel to our weekends with all
your favourite presenters," she says.
Μύ
"We've worked really hard to create something special
for Saturday and Sundays and are really pleased with the results.
Μύ
"I'm looking forward to hearing it come alive -
it's not to be missed."
