The countdown is over and Scotland\u2019s new national radio station is here.<\/p>\n

At 8am this morning, duo Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey officially launched STV Radio live from the station\u2019s new studio in Glasgow\u2019s Pacific Quay.<\/p>\n

Describing it as a \u201chistoric morning\u201d, Ewen and Cat thanked listeners for \u201cbeing part of this great adventure\u201d and promised \u201cdepth, variety and plenty of musical surprises to make you smile\u201d.<\/p>\n

The first song played on STV Radio was a special acoustic version of Simple Minds\u2019 1982 hit, Promised You a Miracle, featuring KT Tunstall.<\/p>\n

Joining Ewen and Cat for the launch this morning from her home in New Mexico, Tunstall said: \u201cI\u2019m completely thrilled [to be the first song played on STV Radio] \u2013 it feels like winning an award.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor everybody who\u2019s going to be listening to this show over the years and decades to come: it\u2019s really easy to think that these \u2018old-fashioned\u2019 ways of listening to music are going to be overlooked, and I just want to say that STV Radio is just incredible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s an amazing connector. We want to hear a real, live person talking about their passion for the song they\u2019re about to play, and you don\u2019t get that when you\u2019re listening to streaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so infectious to hear a human being\u2019s relationship to a song that they\u2019re about to share with you. I\u2019m going to do everything I can to support the radio station and be part of it because I just love it \u2013 it\u2019s a rich part of music culture that isn\u2019t going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ewen and Cat were also joined by Deacon Blue singer Ricky Ross on today\u2019s show, and received messages of support from stars including The Proclaimers, Marti Pellow \u2013 who \u201chopes listeners are all feeling it in their fingers and their toes\u201d \u2013 and Amy Macdonald, who said she\u2019s \u201ca bit surprised that somebody else has given you guys another job in radio, but it is what it is\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ll both do an amazing job and I\u2019m sure the whole of Scotland cannot wait to tune in,\u201d she added, \u201cI know I\u2019ll be listening.\u201d<\/p>\n

STV Radio\u2019s schedule features some of Scotland\u2019s most recognisable radio voices and the best tracks from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.<\/p>\n

Ewen and Cat at Breakfast will air every weekday from 6am \u2013 10am and feature competitions, celebrity guests and live in-studio performances.<\/p>\n

Ewen and Cat are joined on STV Radio\u2019s line-up by Greigsy, Webster, Jodie McCluskey and Micky Gavin.<\/p>\n

TV stars will also be regular fixtures on the station, including Still Game\u2019s Isa \u2013 Jane McCarry \u2013 who will co-present a Saturday morning show, and STV meteorologist Sean Batty, who will bring listeners the latest forecasts throughout the day.<\/p>\n
