Jay Crawford has announced his return to the airwaves on Edinburgh’s new local radio station, Edge 2
Edge Radio Group, led by Jay Crawford, has taken over another DAB licensed station MIX 1 to create Edge 2, Edinburgh’s new local station which will deliver the best music of the last 50 years.
Following huge investment in new studios and equipment in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge, Edge 2 brings fresh ideas, an updated music selection and the triumphant return of one of Edinburgh’s best loved radio DJs. Edge 2 aims to captivate listeners with a curated selection of timeless classic hits and local news.
This expansion further solidifies Jay Crawford’s influence and impact in the radio industry, showcasing his passion for music and commitment to providing engaging content for his listeners.
Jay said; “This was a golden opportunity to build on the success of Edge Radio and an exciting development for the local radio scene. I saw a gap in the market and felt that Edge 2 could be it. I cannot wait to return to the airwaves to play classic tracks every Monday to Friday.”
At the new Stockbridge home for Edge Radio, Jay continued; “Dedicating an entire station to the best music of the last 50 years offers immense appeal. We will be showcasing hits from the rock ‘n’ roll era of the 1950s to vibrant disco in the ‘70s, pop hits of the ’80s, through to the alternative and grunge movements of the ’90s.
“With such a vast and eclectic pool of music to draw from, the new station is poised to cater to a wide range of listeners, ensuring there is something for everyone.”
Jay Crawford’s experience and expertise as a veteran DJ will undoubtedly shine through in the programming and curation of the playlist.
