Northsound 2 was an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting to Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire on DAB digital radio and online.
The station was rolled into the Greatest Hits Radio network as Greatest Hits Radio North East Scotland on 3 April 2023.
As of December 2023, the station broadcast to a weekly audience of 37,000, according to RAJAR.
History
Northsound 2 was established on 9 January 1995 as a sister station to Northsound Radio, which was renamed Northsound 1 at the same time, and broadcast using the older station's AM frequency.
On 3 June 2013, station owners Bauer Radio announced that Northsound 2 would axe its one remaining local programme, the weekday breakfast show which was presented by John McRuvie, and replace it with a networked show hosted by Robin Galloway from Monday 1 July 2013 across all of Bauer's network of AM stations in Scotland. The station became part of the Bauer City 2 network (since rebranded as Greatest Hits Radio) upon its launch on Monday 5 January 2015.
On Tuesday 3 April 2018, Northsound 2 ceased broadcasting on AM and became a digital-only station on DAB and online. It is the first commercial radio station in Scotland - and the first of Bauer's local stations - to cease analogue broadcasting in favour of a digital switchover.
Programming
Much of the station's programming was produced in Greatest Hits Radio's studios in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
= News
=Northsound 2 broadcast local news bulletins hourly from 6a.m. to 7p.m. on weekdays and from 7a.m. to 1p.m. at weekends. Headlines are broadcast on the half hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime shows, alongside sport and traffic bulletins.
National bulletins from Sky News Radio were carried overnight with bespoke networked Scottish bulletins at weekends, produced from Radio Clyde's newsroom in Clydebank.
