Q Radio North West

Q Radio North West is the Q Radio edition for the north-west of Northern Ireland. Its programme combines popular music with presenters, competitions and regional information. It shares the network's main entertainment shows, placing its north-west identity within a wider Northern Irish commercial radio service.

Connor and Amy present Q Radio Breakfast, bringing humour and conversation to the morning programme. Yasmin Zemmoura follows with music and interviews, and Jordan Arnold takes the afternoon show. Ibe Sesay presents the journey-home slot, mixing songs with entertainment and conversation. Cushlá Rice is another of the network's evening voices. These are shared Q Radio programmes carried by the North West edition.

At weekends, the selection makes room for club music and older dance favourites. Gareth Woods hosts Dance Anthems and Gerry Lavz presents Dance Anthems Extra. Conor Hogan, Tyree Patton, Gráinne McCoy and Olga Kaye also appear in the wider presenter line-up. Blocks such as Q Thru The Night and Q Non Stop provide music-led listening between the shows associated with individual hosts.

Daytime news is broadcast seven days a week and supplied by Macmillan Media in partnership with Northern Media Group. The team includes Jane Veitch and Michael Macmillan, supported by Jim McClean and freelance contributors. Q Radio's information offering also covers local and national sport, traffic and weather. The North West service brings this reporting and practical information together with a broad music format, rather than concentrating on a single genre or only on continuous songs.
