Rossie expands to Scotland as Ewen and Cat leave GHR for new gig

Greatest Hits Radio is putting Simon Ross on Breakfast across Scotland as Ewen and Cat decide to leave the station.

It means GHR will have a single breakfast show across England, Wales and Scotland from the end of July.

Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey first started hosting breakfast together on Real Radio Scotland in 2011, and are expected to announced their new show next month.

Gary Stein, Director of Audio at Bauer said: “We’re delighted to announce today that listeners in Scotland will be able to hear the UK’s most listened to commercial Breakfast show – Greatest Hits at Breakfast.

“Rossie is a hugely experienced broadcaster who has been part of the Greatest Hits Radio family from the very start and I know he can’t wait to get started.

“My thanks to Ewen and Cat for all their hard work and everything they’ve contributed to our station. I wish them the best of luck for the future.”

In other unrelated news, STV is currently hiring presenters for the launch of its new radio station later this year, led by former Bauer boss Graham Bryce, now Managing Director of Audio at STV. David Treasurer, who previously worked with Ewen and Cat at Real Radio, is the new Programme Director for the national commercial radio station.
