Saturday mornings on BBC Radio Scotland are getting a brand-new sound from the end of September as broadcasters Amy Irons and Steven Mill team up to launch The Saturday Show.
Irons is a familiar face and voice on BBC Scotland, presenting Hogmanay, Reporting Scotland: News at Seven and co-hosting the Sacked in the Morning podcast with Craig Levein. She will be joined by Mill, who currently presents across Bauer Scotland, and is well known for his passion for Scottish football.
The pair, who have previously worked together in commercial radio, will bring a feel-good factor to each Saturday between 9am-12noon with a show packed with big name guests, all the weekend’s sport, a light-hearted look at the week’s news, timeless tunes, and plenty of fun and chat with the listeners.
Irons said: “This is so exciting, to be hosting a brand-new show with my old pal Steven. 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, whether they are travelling pitch-side to watch their kids play football, heading to watch their team on the supporters’ bus or grabbing a coffee in between chores. There’ll be loads to start the weekend off with a smile and I can’t wait to get started.”

Mill added: “What a delight to be part of this new Saturday morning sound on BBC Radio Scotland. It’ll be great working with Amy again. 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.”
Victoria Easton Riley, head of audio and events at BBC Scotland, said: “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 – 9am each Saturday. The first edition of The Saturday Show will be on BBC Radio Scotland from 9am on September 20 and on BBC Sounds.
