Former Moray Firth Radio breakfast show presenter Ray Atkinson has joined Caravan Radio to present a weekend show.

Ray presented shows on Moray Firth back in 1991 with the breakfast show, and then hosted most shows on the station during his time there.
These days Ray works in the leisure industry, leading him to the job at Caravan Radio.
Ray said: “Opportunities like Caravan Radio don’t come along every day, combining my two passions in life and their collective 35 years plus experience, how could I say no when offered the chance to join the team.”
CEO and Head of Programming Mike Osborne said. “Having Ray on board is great news for the station, not only has Ray many years’ of experience in commercial radio but also has a solid background in the leisure industry which makes him a perfect fit with Caravan Radio.”
Ray Atkinson can be heard every Saturday morning from 10am until 1pm.
