Bauer Media is set to cut more local programming from its line-up, leaving just four hours of Tay FM’s core daily schedule broadcast from Dundee.
Bosses have made the call to rollout a networked drivetime show on most of its FM stations in Scotland and will introduce more shared programmes on the Greatest Hits network.
Broadcaster Garry Spence will air across the stations, with just MFR and Radio Borders retaining their own local drivetime shows.
The changes mean West FM’s Alan Shaw is leaving Bauer but the group said other drivetime hosts will remain on stations across the Hits Radio network.
Its stations in Scotland already share daytime programmes but the changes mean the FM services in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Ayrshire will now share all programming outside of breakfast.
