Forth 2 broadcasts to Edinburgh, The Lothians and Fife and is based in Forth Street in Edinburgh’s city centre. The station is called '1548 Forth 2' on air, but 'Forth 2' is also used.
History
On 22 January 1975, Richard Findlay (the Radio Forth chairman) 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 (as Radio Forth was being broadcast on both their FM and AM frequencies) so Max AM was launched. Radio Forth was renamed Forth FM which 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.
In 2000, the two stations were both relaunched as 97.3 Forth One and 1548 FORTH2. Many changes occurred at this time, from new jingles to brand new DJs at the stations. Forth 2 was redesigned as an adult contemporary music station while Forth One continued to play Top 40 songs for the 35s and under. 97. ...
Although Radio Forth is now owned by a British media group (EMAP), it was originally owned by Scottish Radio Holdings (or SRH) but that was taken over by EMAP on 3 June 2005. Forth continues to be local and mostly managed from Forth House in Edinburgh. June 3 is the 154th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (155th in leap years), with 211 days remaining. ...
2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
