STV reveals radio station name and two new presenters

The name for STV’s new radio station has been revealed as two well-known presenters are set to join when it launches in the coming months.

STV Radio will be the new home of Greigsy (Greig Easton) who will host weekdays from 10am to 2pm, while Stuart Webster will front Drive from 2pm to 6pm.
Greigsy previously presented mid-mornings on the Bauer network, while Webster most recently hosted a daily national show on Greatest Hits Radio Scotland.
They join Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey, who were announced in June as the station’s new breakfast hosts, broadcasting from a purpose-built studio at STV’s Glasgow headquarters.

Greigsy said: “Making brilliant radio for folk right across the country has always been my favourite thing to do, so when I was offered the opportunity to help launch this brand-new nationwide station, it was an absolute no-brainer.”
Webster added: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be working with a new team, and some old pals, to create a daily show that keeps listeners company as they drive home, walk the dog, or just fancy a wee kitchen dance on a weekday afternoon.”
Graham Bryce, Managing Director of Audio at STV, said both presenters were among the top names considered when putting together the line-up. He added that their years of experience and strong audience connections matched the new station’s focus on personality-led shows.
STV Radio will be available across Scotland on DAB, online and through smart speakers. Aimed mainly at 35 to 54 year olds, the mainstream music station will announce further presenters ahead of launch.
