Kaye Adams Will Not Return to Bbc Scotland News Radio Role After Review
Thursday at 9: 14 a. m. ET, Kaye Adams will not be returning to her Scotland programme, a spokesman said. The timing reflects events that began when she was removed from Mornings With last October after an internal complaint and fresh reporting that some complaints were upheld.
Spokesman Confirms Lineup Change and Presenters for Mornings With
A spokesman for Scotland confirmed that Kaye Adams will not return to the Mornings With role and that the presenter line-up will remain the same in the immediate future. Connie McLaughlin will present Mornings With on Mondays to Wednesdays, with Stephen Jardine presenting on Thursdays and Fridays. The corporation said it would not comment on individuals or internal processes.
Scotland News: How Last October’s Complaint and New Reporting Prompted the Decision
Adams was taken off air last October following an internal complaint about her conduct. She said at the time that her name had been “dragged through the mud” and that the corporation had not given her the details of the allegations. The Times has now reported that some complaints against Adams were upheld, but others were rejected, a sequence that explains why the broadcaster has moved to confirm she will not return.
Kaye Adams’s Career Notes and the Corporation’s Workplace Response
Adams, who was born in Falkirk, has worked as a journalist and presenter for nearly 40 years. She initially joined Scotland in 2010 to host Call Kaye, which ended in 2015, and she later fronted The Kaye Adams Show and Mornings With. She has also been a regular panellist on Loose Women. Last year the corporation launched its “Call it Out” scheme to enable staff to challenge and report poor behaviour in the workplace; that program came in response to an independent report that found a small number of stars and managers “behave unacceptably” and that bosses fail to tackle them.
For now, the confirmed schedule change keeps Connie McLaughlin and Stephen Jardine in the presenting rota while the organisation maintains that it will not discuss individual internal processes. Adams has been contacted for comment.
More details are expected Monday at 9: 00 a. m. ET.
