Now Ayrshire Radio

Made in Ayrshire… for Ayrshire

Now Ayrshire Radio is a local station built around Ayrshire rather than pretending local means a couple of headlines bolted onto a generic music stream. It leans into local presenters, local stories, events, competitions and everyday community life, which gives it more identity than the usual faceless online radio filler.

Now Ayrshire Radio is a new local station focused on Ayrshire, with its own site built around local news, what’s on listings, competitions, presenters and business content. That matters because it shows the station is trying to be more than a stream with a logo. It is building an actual local media presence around Ayrshire life, which is exactly what small local radio should be doing if it wants to matter.

The sound is broad and accessible rather than niche for the sake of it. The station mixes familiar music from the 90s to now with personality-led shows across breakfast, daytime, drivetime, evenings and weekends. That gives it a useful local-radio lane: easy to dip into during the day, but with enough named presenters and specialist strands to stop it sounding anonymous.

Its strongest angle is the local feeling. Now Ayrshire Radio leans hard into Ayrshire stories, local businesses, events, sport and community conversation, and that makes the station more relevant than a generic national feed dressed up with a regional strapline. For a local_radio page, that is the right pitch: recognisable music, local voices and a station that actually knows where it belongs.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Ali Wright & Michael Smith – Ali & Michael in the Morning: Ali Wright and Michael Smith front the breakfast show, bringing the station on air from 6am with a big local breakfast format built around chat, music and Ayrshire-focused energy.
  • Amanda Jean – Evening Vibe: Amanda Jean hosts Evening Vibe from 7pm to 10pm Monday to Thursday, giving the evening schedule a smoother presenter-led feel rather than handing everything over to automation.
  • Billy Sturgeon – The Late Show: Billy Sturgeon fronts The Late Show from 10pm to 1am at the start of the week, keeping the station live deep into the night with a more relaxed late-night sound.
  • Elliot Boyce – Ayrshire Insights: Elliot Boyce is associated with Ayrshire Insights, the Sunday business and interview strand that gives the station a stronger local-enterprise angle than standard music-only output.
  • David Cannell – Now Country: David Cannell hosts Now Country on Sunday evenings, adding a clear specialist show to the schedule instead of flattening the station into one all-purpose music format.
