radio scotland presenter Kaye Adams will not be returning to her programme after being taken off air last October following an internal complaint about her conduct. The broadcaster confirmed the presenter’s role will not be restored and said the current Mornings With roster will remain in place for now. Published 03/08/2026 12: 00 ET.
Radio Scotland: Immediate lineup and replacements
A spokesman for Scotland said: “With regard to the presentation line up on Mornings With, Kaye Adams will not be returning to this role. In the immediate future Connie McLaughlin will continue to present Mornings With on Mondays to Wednesdays, with Stephen Jardine presenting on Thursdays and Fridays. ” The statement frames the station’s near-term plan for the show and confirms the current presenters will cover the programme.
What happened and internal findings
Adams was taken off Mornings With last October after an internal complaint about her conduct. Adams, 63, said in October that her name had been “dragged through the mud” and that the corporation had not given her the details of the allegations. Some complaints against Adams were upheld, but others were rejected. The broadcaster said it would not comment on individuals or internal processes.
Investigation context and workplace scheme
The decision follows a wider push at the broadcaster to address workplace behaviour. Last year the corporation launched a “Call it Out” scheme intended to enable staff to challenge and report poor behaviour. That initiative came in response to an independent report into workplace culture which found that a small number of stars and managers “behave unacceptably” and that bosses fail to tackle them.
Background on the presenter
Adams, who was born in Falkirk, has worked as a journalist and presenter for nearly 40 years. She initially joined the station in 2010 to host a daily phone-in programme which ended in 2015, and later fronted The Kaye Adams Show and Mornings With. She has also been a regular panellist on a national daytime talk show.
Immediate reactions and next steps
Kaye Adams said her name had been “dragged through the mud” and that she had not been provided with the details of the allegations, a remark she made publicly in October. The broadcaster reiterated that it will not comment on individual staff matters or internal processes. In the immediate term, listeners will hear Connie McLaughlin and Stephen Jardine in the Mornings With slots, and the presenter line-up will remain unchanged while the organisation manages any further internal follow-up.
What happens next is likely to focus on any formal communications the corporation chooses to make and whether further personnel decisions are announced; the broadcaster’s present statement fixes the current schedule and signals no immediate change to the Mornings With team. The situation remains under the organisation’s internal procedures and updates will be driven by those processes, with attention on how the workplace scheme is applied going forward to radio scotland.
