A seven year high for Forth 1, a 13 year high for Greatest Hits Radio (previously Forth 2), a 21 year high for both stations combined, and a very special mention to the Boogie In The Morning team for a share of the audience of an amazing 25.6%!
“As they broadcast live from the heart of Edinburgh within the stunning St James Quarter, the team have never sounded better.
“It is all down to the incredible hard work and dedication from all our on-air and off-air teams as well as our clients, partners, and fantastic listeners.”
And the best bit is, there are so many more exciting things yet to come, with the likes of the legendary Ken Bruce & PopMaster of course, joining us only last month.”
