About the show and presenter

Welcome to The Midday Music Mix on Coalville Public Radio (CPR). Broadcasting across North West Leicestershire every Friday from 12pm to 2pm,
where we bring you great songs and the ultimate soundtrack to carry you right into the weekend.

Meet your host, Emz

The Midday Music Mix is proudly hosted by Emz, a passionate volunteer presenter dedicated to community radio in North West Leicestershire. Radiating energy and genuine warmth, Emz loves connecting with the local community every Friday on Coalville Public Radio. Community radio truly runs in the family too, as she is married to Kenny, who is also a lunchtime presenter across the CPR airwaves on Thursdays.

Classic decades meet modern hits

Why stick to one decade when you can enjoy them all?
The Midday Music Mix delivers a rich tapestry of sounds spanning the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, alongside fresh picks from the current charts. From cherished timeless anthems you know by heart to brand new tracks you are yet to love, the upbeat and lighthearted mix is crafted to power you through Friday afternoon and bring you one step closer to the weekend.

Fun weekly features and listener requests

Every show is packed with great tracks and signature segments.
Tune in for Boyband Backtrack, where we revisit a favourite retro boyband, explore their history, and spin one of their tunes which you may or may not know!
Discover clever musical ties in our National Day Connection, celebrating each quirky national day through themed songs
and celebrate with our Double Birthday Double Play, featuring back-to-back songs from two iconic artists born on the day the show airs.
