BBCPresenters Amy Irons and Steven Mill have been reunited to kick-start a new weekend programme on BBC Radio Scotland.
The pair will front The Saturday Show from late September, giving the station a fresh new sound.
Irons and Mill worked together in Scottish commercial radio and will aim to bring a “feel-good factor” to the airwaves, with guests, music, chat about football and a lighthearted look at the week’s news.
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. Mills currently presents across Bauer Scotland, and is well known for his passion for Scottish football.

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.”
Mills 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 08:00 to 09:00 each Saturday. It will also be available on BBC Sounds.
