STV Edinburgh to launch The Fountainbridge Show in January Brand new TV channel STV Edinburgh today unveiled the presenters who will host The Fountainbridge Show. The daily magazine show will launch in early January 2015 and will broadcast live from the capital each weekday evening. Former Heart and Real Radio breakfast show host Ewen Cameron will present the show from the studio alongside broadcaster and presenter Hayley Matthews. Ewen and Hayley will be joined on the live programme by roving reporters Zara Janjua and George Ward who will present from different locations around Edinburgh each week night. Ewen Ewen Cameron has come a long way from his first ever job in Marks and Spencer on Princes Street. Born in Westerhailes and schooled in Tynecastle, he's a sports fanatic who claims to be a whiz on the ski slopes and footy pitch and is looking forward to showing off his skills on the show. He started his media career in the heat of the Dubai desert, working on their biggest radio station, where he interviewed everyone from Tiger Woods to Bill Clinton. He returned to Scotland in 2000 to launch Real Radio and after 12 years took up his most recent post as presenter of Heart Breakfast show. You're most likely to find Ewen in a pub on Gorgie Road but he loves everything about Edinburgh's atmosphere and culture and is very excited to be a part of our new channel. "Edinburgh has been crying out for something like this," said Ewen. The people have something to say and now they have a voice. The channel is about giving the city and the people a platform to talk about the things that are important to them. I'm very happy that I'll be a part of that. Hayley Hayley Matthews hasn't always had such luck in her career: she was sacked from her first job in a bank in Edinburgh because, in the words of her boss, "You think you're a spice girl." "I took that as a compliment" says Hayley. Interested in music from a young age, the Portobello lass studied radio broadcasting at Telford College and inspired by her lecturer (ex-Forth Radio presenter Jo Wheelan), she pursued a career on the wireless. After stints at Kingdom FM, Real Radio and Talk 107, Hayley joined STV's The Nightshift team as a presenter before moving over to The Fountainbridge Show. "I love that I've lived in Edinburgh all my life but I'm still learning more and more about it all the time, there's just so much history," Hayley said. My heart lies at the coastline where I grew up and even in the sharp, crisp Edinburgh weather. I love going for walks on Portobello beach and on Joppa and really enjoy taking my wee boy there now. When I was offered the job as STV Edinburgh presenter, it sounds so cheesy, but it was like all my Christmas and birthdays came at once. George An award-winning journalism graduate from Edinburgh Napier University, George Ward can't wait to unleash his talent and enthusiasm on STV Edinburgh as roving reporter. "I've only lived in Edinburgh for four years," explains George. I was born in Leeds originally, and grew up in Aberdeen, but I really like the city and I'm delighted to be staying on in the city to work with the channel. I love that you can walk everywhere and I love places like the Grassmarket and the Royal Mile because they are so homely, it feels like a town rather than a massive city. I'm really looking forward to getting out there, meeting all the different people that call Edinburgh home and telling their tales. There are so many interesting people here. Zara The channel will be on air between midday and midnight each day and a feature a mix of news, features, live and interactive formats, dramas such as Days of Honour and classics like Take the High Road. The Fountainbridge News will air between 6.30pm and 7pm and this will be followed by The Fountainbridge Show between 7pm and 8.30pm. The magazine show will reflect what's happening in the city each day with a combination of local news, community features and live entertainment. STV Edinburgh will be delivered in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University, offering students the opportunity to work in a live television environment "The launch of STV Edinburgh offers a brand new platform for local community groups in the capital city to share their stories," said Paul Hughes, channel editor for STV Edinburgh. The Fountainbridge Show is part of an entertaining schedule with locally relevant content for this unique city. STV Glasgow has delivered a strong performance since launch nearly six months ago and we anticipate a positive response from the people of Edinburgh when we begin broadcasting in early January. The launch of STV Edinburgh follows the launch of STV Glasgow in June this year, which has a monthly audience of 600,000 in Glasgow and the west, with 64% of the transmission area tuning in since launch. Ofcom announced the award of licences to STV for Glasgow and Edinburgh in January 2013. STV has also submitted applications to Ofcom to deliver local TV in Aberdeen, Ayr and Dundee. STV Edinburgh will broadcast on Freeview channel 23, Sky channel 117 and Virgin channel 159 and will be available to watch live on the STV Player. Ahead of the channel's launch, viewers will be asked to re-tune their televisions to pick up the Freeview signal for channel 23.
