As previously announced, Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey will host their hugely popular Breakfast show from 6-10am each weekday morning, with Scottish broadcasting legend Ken Bruce bringing his all-new mid-morning show and PopMaster to the network from 10am-1pm each Monday to Friday.

Then from 1-4pm, Stuart Webster will take over before the station cruises into Drivetime with another radio legend, Simon Mayo. Jackie Brambles then brings you exclusive chats with some of the biggest names from music and film from 7-10pm.

The weekend schedule, due to be published soon will also include a broad range of shows, including Fred MacAulay, Boogie Nights with Boogie, The Album Show with Simon Mayo, The Smash Hits Chart Show and Arlene Stuart.

Greatest Hits Radio in the new name for Clyde 2, Forth 2, MFR 2, Northsound 2, Tay 2, West Sound in Ayrshire and West Sound in Dumfries & Galloway, and just announced today, Radio Borders shall also be joining the family in Scotland. It brings the total number of stations joining Scotland’s first ever nationwide commercial radio station to eight. Listeners across the region able to access the station through all the existing channels – AM / FM, online, via the App and on their Smart Speakers.

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.

“A special thanks to all the presenters across our stations who have helped us get to this point as we enter this very exciting next phase of commercial radio in Scotland.”
