Online-only radio station Radio 25 Live is to launch a new celebrity weekend line-up from Friday.

Presenters include Pat Sharp (formerly from Capital, Heart and Smooth); James Whale (who's also currently on BBC Essex and BBC Kent) and former BBC Radio 1 presenter Emperor Rosko.

Radio 25 Live broadcasts from West Yorkshire, and describes itself as a "feel good over 25's radio station". The service has live programming at breakfast and drive, as well as specialist programmes over the weekend.

Jon Butler, the Station Manager, says that "the UK has too many radio stations following the same format so we decided to go ‘Old Skool’. Listeners can now listen to well-known classic radio presenters anywhere online."

The station is PRS and PPL licenced, and has apps for iPhones and Android devices, which we link to from Radio 25 Live's page here on media.info.
