As usual the day began with the popular AREA that leaves people calling in and giving us the traffic reports of wherever they are. since it was request Wednesday they had the opportunity to have their choice songs played.BEZ was in the house dishing out to the delight of his fans two of his songs as well as co anchoring with Tosyn Bucknor.GT the guitar man was also in the studio to answer some questions as well as spice the day/show up. Oh my God how will I forget the prize winners from yesterday? Yes MITCHELLE and IBUKUN came by to spend time at the studio as one of the incentives that came with winning. NAETO C as much as we looked forward to hanging out with him couldn’t make it due to Lagos traffic but it’s ok will reschedule that for another day.DJ GQ made it an interesting day with good music to liven up the moments. The show rounded up with our winners from yesterday making their shout outs and it was a wrap.

Top of the Morning (welcome back edition) Today’s edition of ‘Area’ was the welcome back edition, where listeners had the opportunity of talking about their weekend. It also featured the usual traffic and weather report. Amu Francis was the first caller on the show.

During the show, information about activities which took place during the weekend was given. The weekend was packed with activities ranging from football and the Grammy awards.

For sport, the ban on the Togo team by CAF was reviewed and listeners expressed their opinion through phone calls, text messages, facebook and twitter.
For the Grammys, award receivers included Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, whose children received it on his behalf.

After the area show, listeners were given the opportunity to give acceptance speeches if they were to win an award.

The top nine moments which was read by Aramide Paul Taiwo at past nine featured stories on health, technology, entertainment and sports.

After the top nine moments, the song of the week was introduced which was Taylor swift’s ‘you are not sorry’.

The top question for today was ‘What do you think about Nigerian artistes organising beneficial concert for Jos like they are doing for Haiti?’.Most viewers said that the crises in Jos was as a result of religion but Haiti was a natural disaster. The show ended with Jason Derulo’s ‘watcha ya say’.
