Not many I suspect, it will mostly be precorded stuff. I guess most live shows will be the morning ones?

    At BBC Radio Norfolk, we're live for the breakfast show with David Whiteley from 6am to 10am, and then Nick Conrad for mid-morning from 10am to 1pm.

    We're then playing a pre-recorded Salvation Army carol concert from the Royal Albert Hall which many BBC locals are running this Christmas through until 2pm, when we go regional and share with our fellow BBC East stations.

    The 6pm to 9pm programme, a Keith Skues special, will originate from Norfolk, from Keith's home studio on the Broads.

    Is that the same Nick Conrad who does WM on Saturdays?

    I 'm guessing most are live in the Mornings for Breakfast, so people can phone in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas etc. I remember some Radio shows used to do a swap a present show.

    I know Aled Jones and Ed Stewart will be Live on Radio 2 Christmas Day and LBC 97.3 will be Live all day...

    Personally I don't know why all stations don't get together and have one DJ which plays just Christmas Songs on Christmas Eve, cause that's all I've heard all day :D:D

    Isn't that what the big groups do at Christmas anyway?

    Gold appears to be live from 7am-midnight. Radio Jackie are live throughout the day with a break between 4-5am to allow Jerry Wright to take a break before returning with early breakfast.

    Yes indeed - as has been said, he works for us during the week, and then for WM on Saturdays, and sometimes deputises for Stephen Nolan on 5 Live too.

    Is Scott really live, seems odd going to a pre record 10-1 then coming back live at 1 when not many will be listening.

    Scott Mills is on pretty much all week, isn't he? If I were him, I'd pre-record every single one.. Why would anyone want to work over Christmas?

    I think you mis-spelled "all the time" as "at Christmas." Hope this helps!

    He's probably seen it because he's already recorded it. I doubt he will be live tomorrow.

    I wonder if he'll be live on Boxing Day either.

    BBC Local stations try to have as much live as possible as due to the compliance rules (post Brand/Ross) anything recorded needs to be approved by a senior member of staff.
