 One significant change was the end of "The Live Session", a weekly acoustic broadcast that had featured and given exposure to a large quantity of local and little-known bands during NE1fm's time on-air; "The Live Session"'s departure, however, was intended to be brief, with the station advertising for a replacement presenter for the show.A new live music show, "Hit the North (East)", debuted in late 2010.The station also began to focus areas of its programming toward younger people, with a larger amount of new music played during the day and coverage of popular events including Evolution Festival.
