Aviemore MFR radio presenter Jodie McCluskey stepping up into coveted breakfast show slot
MFR has announced a refreshed weekday schedule, with Aviemore's Jodie McCluskey stepping into the much coveted breakfast show slot.
Jodie, who currently hosts mid-mornings on the station, will be taking on the exciting role with the radio station's brand new breakfast show from Monday 16th May.
New host Greigsy will be taking on the 10am-1pm slot, while mid-afternoons will be presented by Grant Thomson.
Station bosses have said the changes allow Inverness-based MFR to align with its sister stations on the Hits Radio Network in having a local weekday breakfast show followed by content from broadcasting hubs in Scotland.
Speaking about hosting the Breakfast show, Jodie said: “I started at MFR back in 2008 and have had a fantastic time presenting all my shows, including my current day time show.
"Our listeners are brilliant.
"However, it’s always been my dream to have my very own breakfast show, so I can’t believe that will become a reality on 16th May. I can’t wait!”
Gary Stein, Content Director for the Hits Radio Network, said: “We are committed to ensuring the future of radio in local markets and in a fast-changing audio landscape we must re-imagine local radio to secure its future success.
"Along with these exciting new programmes, listeners will continue to have access to local news content, local information and traffic and travel that is important to them.”
Current breakfast show host Grace, of Dan & Grace in the Morning, will continue to host her Saturday morning show on the station.
Co-presenters Dan Gilchrist and Martin Morrison will be departing the station in line with the changes.
Mr Stein added: “I’d like to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to Dan and Martin for their dedication, significant contribution and passion. We wish them the very best for the future.”
