Aberdeen's Northsound building is to close later this year

There will be no job losses after the closure of the offices of two Scottish radio stations, according to owners Bauer Media.

Northsound's Aberdeen office and the Inverness base of MFR are set to shut later this year.

It comes after each station's local breakfast show was dropped - which was the last of the local programming from each site.

Bauer Media said teams would do a mixture of remote working and shifts from a production centre in Glasgow.

MFR, Northsound 1 and Tay FM's morning shows were replaced by Edinburgh-based Boogie in the Morning in January.

Local teams in Aberdeen and Inverness still provide local news bulletins and sport coverage.

Northsound and MFR have both been broadcasting since the early 1980s.
