Uncut and rock station The Arrow partner up for weekly show

LONDON - IPC Media's music and movies magazine Uncut is joining with digital-only rock radio station The Arrow to produce a weekly radio slot.

The programme will contain music featured in the monthly magazine and covermounted CDs, and comment from members of the Uncut editorial team.

In return, Uncut will provide publicity for programming on The Arrow, which currently attracts 79,000 listeners a week. The station plays classic rock from the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen to contemporary bands including Coldplay and Oasis.

The Arrow is a Chrysalis Radio brand and is available on Sky, cable, online and in DAB regions covered by the MXR consortium, which comprises Chrysalis, Guardian Media Group, GCap Media, UBC Media and car manufacturer Ford. The regions are Yorkshire, the West Midlands, the North East, the North West, South Wales and the West.

Alan Carruthers, programming director of The Arrow, said: "With its emphasis on the old and the new, the cult and the classic, Uncut features authoritative journalism and a sense of humour that sits perfectly with The Arrow's core listeners."

Recent ABC figures for the first half of 2005 put Uncut's circulation at 110,015, down 3.5% from the second half of 2004.
