Nation Easy Radio

Nation Easy Radio is a relaxed music station with a south-coast connection. It combines familiar songs with an easy-listening direction, offering a gentler programme than a contemporary chart station. The service is part of Nation Broadcasting's radio family and is also known through the broadcaster's Nation Easy branding.

Kate Weston presents the morning programme, with Andy Jackson continuing through the daytime. Stuart McGinley hosts the afternoon, followed by Tim Allen and Duncan Barkes in the evening line-up. These named voices give the service a substantial presented schedule, alongside overnight sequences of relaxing favourites. Travel and weather information maintain its connection with listeners in the region.

The music is wider than a collection of slow ballads. Dolly Parton's Jolene, Simply Red's Holding Back the Years and Robbie Williams' Angels appear in the playlist, as do Nelly Furtado and the Beautiful South. Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's Together in Electric Dreams introduces a brighter electronic pop sound, showing that relaxed programming can still include rhythmic, upbeat recordings.

Older soul and melodic pop are represented by Jimmy Ruffin, Phyllis Nelson and Kiki Dee. Their songs sit alongside later familiar voices, so the selection crosses generations while keeping singing and recognisable melodies prominent. The combination of presenters, local information and this broad repertoire gives Nation Easy a fuller radio format than an uninterrupted collection of quiet tracks.
