A live broadcast of Midnight Mass, a replay of the recent royal visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and recordings of some of the city’s finest musicians are among the highlights of the Cambridge 105 Christmas schedule.
Christmas Eve sees the final 105 Breakfast with Neil & Lottie as Neil Whiteside leaves the show after two years. A specially extended programme will run from 7am to 10am.
Glenn Jones will also present his final morning show at 10am before moving to the afternoon in the New Year.
Twins Carlie & Jess Foster return with two special ‘2-4-1’ shows for teenage listeners on Christmas Eve and December 28th.
For the first time Cambridge 105 is broadcasting Midnight Mass live from Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church on Hills Road. Julian Clover presents our coverage that begins at 11.00pm.
On Christmas Day morning, Pete Robbins presents a live show from 8am to 11am, with requests and dedications as Cambridge wakes up.
Later in the day there’s a chance to relive some of 105’s best bits of the year including Neil & Lottie’s Top 10 songs of 2012 (11-12pm), the New Music Generator (NMG) Sessions Under 18s featuring Boiling Point, 28 Boulevard and Grace Sarah (12-3pm), highlights of the Royal Visit from 3-5:30pm, highlights of the Olympic Torch coverage from 7:30-9pm, a special Smelly Flowerpot show from 9-11pm and a another chance to hear the NMG Session featuring Isaac’s Aircraft and Motor Tapes from 11pm-1am.
