Amy Irons and Steven Mill to launch new BBC Radio Scotland Saturday show

BBC Radio Scotland will launch a brand-new Saturday morning programme as Amy Irons and Steven Mill join forces for The Saturday Show.

The new programme will air weekly from 9am to 12noon following Good Morning Scotland. It will feature big-name guests, a round-up of the weekend’s sport, music, news and interaction with listeners.
Amy, who is well known to BBC audiences for her work on Reporting Scotland: News at Seven, Hogmanay coverage, and the Sacked in the Morning podcast with Craig Levein, said she was excited about the new role.
“Saturday mornings are a special time of the week, with lots going on for our audience and I can’t wait to keep them company,” she explained.
Steven, who currently presents across Bauer Scotland and has a passion for Scottish football, said working with Amy again would be a highlight.
“We’re both passionate about our sport, and when you throw the Scottish sense of humour into the mix along with listener chat and guests, I know it’s going to be lots of fun,” he added.
Victoria Easton Riley, Head of Audio and Events at BBC Scotland, commented: “We’re delighted to launch The Saturday Show with Amy and Steven at the helm. Their chemistry, humour, and infectious enthusiasm make them the perfect pair to bring the audience a boost of energy and entertainment at the start of the weekend.”
The new show will follow Good Morning Scotland which airs from 8am to 9am each Saturday. The first edition of The Saturday Show will be on BBC Radio Scotland from 9am on 20 September and on BBC Sounds.
