Aberdeen’s Original 106 was live from the city’s harbour last weekend to cover The Tall Ships Races where 400,000 people were expected to visit.
Broadcasting from land, sea, and helicopter, the station covered the moment the first vessels arrived on Friday, and there were outside broadcasts live from the quayside on Saturday and again on Tuesday.
The coverage ended on Tuesday morning with Claire & Pete’s breakfast show live from the docks, as the ships prepared to depart for the next leg of the race to Norway.
Craig Lumsden, Programme Controller at Original 106, who coordinated and produced the live coverage, said: “This was a huge technical undertaking — covering an event of this scale across multiple platforms and locations with relatively limited resources.
“But the team rose to the challenge and pulled it off seamlessly. I couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved.”
