Robin Galloway to host Clyde 1 drivetime slot
Former Real Radio Scotland breakfast presenter, Robin Galloway, has joined Clyde1 to host is afternoon drive time slot.
The presenter, who was sacked from his previous role in which he filmed his producer running naked behind Labour leader Ed Milliband for a prank for his show, will begin his new role today.
Galloway said: “It’s every DJ’s dream to be on Clyde 1 - the offer to be part of a radio giant was a no brainer. I’m following in the footsteps of legends like Tiger Tim, George Bowie and the original, iconic, Super Scoreboard.
“This is a dream come true for me – it’s like signing for Manchester United. I am so incredibly excited to be joining Glasgow and the West’s undisputed number 1 hit music station. Let the fun begin.”
Tracey McNellan, station director for Radio Clyde, added: "We are delighted to welcome Robin to Clyde 1 and are sure he will be a great success with our listeners during drive time.
"Robin is well-known across Scotland and he is a great addition to our already fantastic team. His appointment also further highlights the ambition of Clyde 1 to secure the greatest talent in Scotland for our audiences."
McNellan continued: "At Clyde 1, our on-going commitment is to create the very best possible entertainment, news, travel and music content for our local marketplaces. This is already proving to be a successful strategy and we are sure that Robin will bring a new dimension to the station that will be welcomed by our listeners."
Clyde 1’s drivetime show will run on weekdays between 2pm and 6pm.
It was announced before Christmas that Galloway would be replaced by Ewan Cameron as host of Real Radio Scotland's breakfast show.
