Forth 1 breakfast presenters Boogie and Arlene have been awarded honorary doctorates by Edinburgh Napier University.
The honour is in recognition of their outstanding broadcasting careers and community work.
The duo, who host Boogie in the Morning alongside Producer Marty, received the honour at a ceremony at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall today.
Their show, broadcast across Scotland, has twice won Best Music Breakfast Show at the Audio & Radio Industry Awards, taking home the trophy in both 2024 and 2025.
Boogie said: “The ceremony was such a special occasion. We have met so many amazing people today and want to say special thanks to everyone at Edinburgh Napier University.”
Arlene added: “I’m deeply honoured. It was a very emotional experience especially with my parents here. I never thought they would see this happen.”
Edinburgh Napier’s Director of Marketing and External Relations, Geoff Day, praised their dedication, saying: “Boogie and Arlene have been welcome guests at breakfast tables across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and further afield for nearly 20 years.
“Their longevity and accolades demonstrate their continued professionalism and support for their community.”
Boogie began his radio career as a volunteer at Radio Borders in 1991 before joining Radio Forth in 2001. Arlene started in television at Grampian, later presenting Country Matters and The River, before joining Forth 1 in 2008.
They have been a part of raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for Forth 1’s Cash for Kids and continue to support local causes across Scotland.
