    So are we stuck with the current (tired!) show or is it still planned for all Scottish stations?

    Olivia Jones is doing In: Denamd Uncut this evening. Who will be doing In: Demand now Stu Tolan is moving? The station schedule never works. It always says "Sorry, there has been a problem loading the schedule information. Please try again later."

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one having this problem! :)

    Isn't it an OFCOM requirement that the Public File includes the station schedule? I don't know how Bauer manage to be in breach of it so much.

    Funny you should mention this, I've noticed the exact same thing and don't understand why that happens.

    I believe it's done deliberately to stimulate some wild speculation on DS, same as the schedule errors such as Tony Blackburn being listed at 4pm this Sunday on Northsound 1 as was the case yesterday.

    They are a wacky bunch of pranksters.:D

    Mfr has lost another regional show as Greigsy's Hot 20 is on mfr for the first time today.

    Greigsy has invaded mfr as his evening show started airing in the mfr region just a few weeks ago.


    He does seem to be Bauer's man of the moment.

    Never heard of that one before, however I also have problems with the Kiss, KissFresh and Kisstory schedule sometimes when they fail to load. Bauer have gotten away with many things before that I have noticed so it doesn't surprise me if they can get away with what they probably call "a small technical fault!"

    Yeah they are on the Scottish Bauer City 1 stations on a Sunday morning between 9am - 12pm. They have been doing it for about a month now

    Yeah sure do ;)

    I should have worded that better it was the concert so that the people of Edinburgh could watch the fireworks and listen to the music the accompanies it

    If Bauer are successful in getting this FM frequency for Clyde 2 it could work very well as they do not need to provide any additional local programming as Breakfast and Drive already come from Glasgow on Clyde 2. So the same Breakfast and Drive programmes could be on FM in Glasgow and AM across Scotland.


    It would work like Smooth London which is on FM and the same programming is on AM across the South of England.

    Unlike Radio City 2 who need local programmes and presenters for Breakfast and Drive from Liverpool as the network comes from Manchester.

    This was just an idea that clyde 2 could take up the frequency.

    I suppose they could get round it that way but does Ally Bally not sometimes do the home run show from Tay's studios

    I go to the Fireworks Concert every year. At one point this used to be on Forth 2. At lest Forth are still covering a local event.

    Radio Borders has opted out of both the Big Bad Saturday Show and Scotland's Hot 20 today to cover the Golden Ticket day on the Borders Railway, which starts passenger services tomorrow.

    Shows the stations can still do local things when required
