Ewen and Cat said: “The excitement is building for Scotland’s first ever nationwide commercial station and with the full weekday schedule now announced we cannot wait.
“Handing over to Ken on that first show is going to be an amazing experience for us. The station has some of the best talent in the country and we are over the moon to be a part of it.”
Victoria Easton-Riley, Content Director for the Hits Radio Network across Scotland said: “Now we have announced the presenter line-up we are edging closer to launch day on 3rd April. To have legendary broadcasters such as Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo alongside other household weekday favourites already familiar to Scottish listeners such as Ewen and Cat and Stuart Webster mean that the station will truly kick-off with a bang later this year.
