1548 Forth 2
On
22 January 1975, Richard Findlay woke up the listeners of
Edinburgh,
The Lothians and
Fife to the words "This, for the very first time is
Radio Forth". The first DJ on air was a man named
Steve Hamilton who hosted the breakfast show.
In 1990, Forth was forced to use it's AM service (at this time,
Radio Forth was being simulcast) so Max AM and Forth FM were launched. Forth FM was mainly for the younger age group, while Max AM was for the 35+. Soon after this, Max AM was renamed to Forth AM to match it's sister station.
So in 2000, the two stations were both relaunched as
97.3 Forth One and 1548 Forth 2. Forth 2 was redesigned as an adult contemporary music station as well as all the information it already provided such as news and travel.
