Changes to BBC Radio Scotland’s regional radio news on FM

The news broadcast from Inverness will be available in six slots, each lasting six minutes, Monday to Friday.  The bulletins will be broadcast at the new times of 6:30am, 7:30am, 8:30am, 12:30pm, 4:30pm and 5:30pm.

BBC Scotland said the move would provide listeners with more opportunities to hear local news on FM. The bulletins from Inverness cover the Highlands, Western Isles and parts of Argyll and Moray.

A spokesman said: “We know our audiences really appreciate getting the news, sport and weather from their own area from the BBC throughout the day. We hope by changing to this more regular pattern we’ll allow even more of them to do just that, no matter what their daily routines are or when they’re able to tune in.”
