There will be interviews with artists and NAC residents, as well as entertainment, boredom breakers and news.

During the show's first week presenters will be talking to magician Sylvia Sceptre to see how she is coping in lockdown and Wolverhampton-based artist Ed Isaacs, who will also be inspiring listens with some isolation creativity.

Trevelyan Wright, CEO, said: "Radio is a friendly voice at home, something that is so valuable in these difficult times.

"WCRfm has been based at NAC for 30 years serving the community of Wolverhampton – and so when we were looking for a way to engage our audiences while the site is shut radio was the natural choice. We’re delighted to be working with WCRfm on NAC@home and hope you enjoy listening.”
