Nicola Meighan to host weekend show on Central FM

Nicola Meighan is set to host a new Saturday afternoon programme on Central FM between 2pm and 5pm.

Nicola is an acclaimed Scottish arts writer and broadcaster who has presented music and arts programmes on BBC Radio Scotland for more than a decade, also working with STV, The Herald and Mute Records and hosting the podcast A Kick Up The Arts.

Nicola said: “Earlier this year, I heard that a radio studio had opened a five-minute walk from my house, and that it was the new headquarters for Central FM, which all sounded too good to be true.

“But they’ve opened their doors, and their microphones, to me recently, and I’m delighted to have been offered a weekend show on my local station, with the freedom to play the music I love and the chance to chat with some really special guests from the worlds of music, TV, theatre, books, comedy and film, who’ll be keeping me company in our Bridge of Allan studio. I’d love it if you joined us too.”

Brad Yule, Head of Programming at Central FM, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Nicola to the Central FM family. Since moving into our new Bridge of Allan headquarters, we’ve been focused on building an exciting and distinctive local radio service for listeners across the Forth Valley and beyond.

“Nicola brings a wealth of broadcasting experience, a genuine passion for music and culture, and strong local connections that make her a fantastic addition to our weekend line-up.”
