THE line-up has been prepared as the region's newest radio station prepares to take to the air.

From Monday, community station Radio Teesdale begins a month-long broadcast to Barnard Castle and the surrounding area in County Durham.

This will be the station's second trial broadcast and there will be a mix of previous presenters together with some new ones and a diverse range of programming.

Modern music programmes include guitarist Richard Cole, from Hutton Magna, with the Saturday Rock Show, and Colin Robinson will host an Indie music programme on Wednesday evenings.

There will also be items dedicated to older-style music, including station manager Peter Dixon's programme on Songs from the Shows, and Val and Michael Fryer's show dedicated to Music for the Vintage Generation.

There will also be regular news and current affairs programmes

Radio Teesdale will broadcast on 107.2fm until December 5 and will also be streamed on the Internet.
