\n Jodie McCluskey will take listeners into the early hours on The Late Show from 10 PM.
A range of sports and chat shows will air on weekends.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n Harvey said she was excited to return to the air after several months.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201c[Our show] is a place where we can be ourselves, with no airs or graces, and just have a laugh every morning with our incredible community of listeners.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cSTV Radio is such an exciting new platform for us and we\u2019re honoured to be kicking off an absolute belter of a line-up on 7 January. Set your alarms!\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Co-presenter Cameron added: \u201cIt\u2019s almost here! We\u2019ve spent the last few months working away behind-the-scenes with our brilliant new team, building STV Radio from the ground up.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cBeing a part of this launch is genuinely one of the highlights of my career, and with just weeks to go, I can\u2019t wait to get back on air with Cat and start the new year with lots of fun and silliness for our lovely listeners, old and new.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n STV has been criticised<\/a> in recent months as bosses recently announced plans to cut staff and reduce regional broadcasting on its television stations.\n<\/p>\n

\n However, Graham Bryce, managing director of audio, insists that the radio station will feature a diverse cast of presenters from all of Scotland\u2019s regions.\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: \u201cWe\u2019ve assembled an enviable line-up of Scottish presenting talent, with some of the country\u2019s best-known and most-loved radio voices, as well as popular TV<\/a> stars who I\u2019m looking forward to hearing make the transition to the airwaves.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cSTV Radio is made in Scotland for the people of Scotland, and the regional diversity of our line-up reflects our commitment to serving every corner of the country with our daily offering of great music, relatable chat and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 fun.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
