Forth 1, Northsound 1, MFR and Tay FM to share breakfast as Boogie in the Morning expands

Forth’s Boogie in the Morning is expanding to more areas of Scotland replacing the breakfast shows on MFR, Northsound 1 and Tay FM.

The breakfast show, hosted by Boogie, Arlene and Marty, will be heard in Tayside, Perthshire and the North and North East of Scotland from January.

It will mean all four stations will broadcast the same programmes 24/7, following the new Media Bill becoming law.

MFR’s Jodie, and Northsound 1’s Jeff and Lauren will be leaving after their final shows at the end of December.

Current Tay FM breakfast duo Gregor & Lynsey will host a new networked weekday breakfast show. The programme will air every weekday from 4am to 6am across all Hits Radio Network stations in Scotland which also includes Clyde 1 Glasgow and the West and Clyde 1 Ayrshire.

Greigsy’s 10am till 1pm weekday show will also end this year, but he will continue to host on weekends.

As a result, Grant Thomson, Garry Spence and Callum Gallacher are all getting an extra hour on air as they extend their shows to 10am-2pm, 2pm-6pm and 6pm-10pm respectively.

George Bowie continues to host Breakfast in Glasgow and the West on Clyde 1 and in the recently expanded area of Ayrshire. Superscoreboard also remains on air 6pm-8pm on both Clyde 1 stations.

Victoria Easton-Riley, Content Director for Hits Radio Portfolio in Scotland said, “Audiences across Scotland love Boogie and Arlene. Their Saturday show is hugely popular and is Scotland’s most listened to weekend radio show.

“Also, their Forth 1 Breakfast show Boogie in the Morning is welcoming its biggest number of listeners for seven years, as well as bagging national awards, so I’m delighted that we’re able to bring it to more of our listeners across the country each weekday morning.

“I’m equally excited for our brand-new Scotland-wide early Breakfast show from Gregor and Lynsey, who currently host Tay FM breakfast and a national weekend show across our stations. Bringing overnighters and early risers the biggest hits and the biggest throwbacks, it’ll be the much-needed injection of energy for the start of the day.”

Victoria added, “We share our huge thanks with Jodie, Jeff and Lauren for all they’ve contributed. Each brilliant broadcasters, we wish them all the very best on their last few weeks with us and for everything in the future.”
