The household names had been absent from their normal slots on the radio station
Five top presenters from local radio station U105 are to leave the airwaves after a shock announcement tonight.
Linda Cullen, Denise Watson, Rick Nugent, Stephen Woods, and David Johnson are all set to depart after being missing from our airwaves for several weeks. There has been speculation that talks were being held as part of a possible takeover.
It’s believed the five and bosses could not agree terms in new contract negotiations.
In a short statement on Friday May 8 the station said: “We wanted to update listeners that Denise Watson, David Johnson, Linda Cullen, Rick Nugent and Stephen Woods are leaving the U105 schedule, as we have been unable to reach mutually agreeable terms for new contracts.
“We would like to thank Denise, David, Linda, Rick and Stephen for their significant contribution to U105, we know they will be missed by many listeners. We wish them all the very best for the future.”
