Gareth promotes a competition to give away a music system and uses the tag line &#8216;clutterfree&#8217;, the format of continuous music and limited chat for which Nova became renowned. There&#8217;s also the 2.15 &#8216;hit and pick&#8217; request spot for a local business. News is read by Sybil Fennell and the weather forecast covers Northern Ireland and the northwest of England, reflecting Nova&#8217;s coverage area.
