Heart East Scotland Radio

Heart East Scotland is the eastern edition of Heart's Scottish service, combining familiar popular music with a Scotland-specific daytime line-up. Edinburgh and the surrounding audience hear Scottish presentation alongside programmes shared more widely across the Heart network.

The Scottish newsroom's published coverage has addressed the opening of Edinburgh's children's hospital, access to cystic-fibrosis treatment and employment figures. Wider Scottish politics and public safety also appear in the archive. These subjects show a regional editorial role extending beyond music and celebrity entertainment, with Edinburgh forming part of a Scotland-wide news agenda. The service's Scottish breakfast and daytime voices add another connection with that audience, distinct from the location of any individual news story.

The Scottish weekday schedule begins with Des Clarke, Adele and Grado on Heart Breakfast, followed by Aylissa Boyce and Cat Cubie. David Farrell presents the later afternoon, including the 5 in 5 quiz. These programmes are made for the Scottish service, giving the eastern edition more than a geographical connection to Scotland while still sharing entertainment with the wider Heart network.

At the weekend, Aylissa Boyce provides further Scottish presentation, alongside network shows such as Saturday Breakfast with Mark Wright and Olly Murs. Toby Anstis and Rezzy Ghadjar bring Club Classics, and Emma Bunton's Sunday programme includes her 90s at 9 selection. Will Manning presents the EE Official Big Top 40. The music therefore ranges from familiar popular songs to dance favourites and chart material, with Scottish voices forming the main weekday framework.
