    Black Diamond FM Listen Live

Presenter

Geoff Ruderham

Background

Geoff moved to Edinburgh from his beloved Hawick in 1968 and still lives there. When he was young, he loved listening to the radio, a lot of radio, including the offshore stations and internationals like Luxy on 208, as the telly shut down at half past midnight.

Geoff’s way of thinking is, Radio is the most intimate broadcast media there is and it is very personal, so he tries to keep it that way, he is Black Diamond’s Mid Morning presenter from 10am till 1pm most week days and the only original member of the daytime broadcast team from the very first day Black Diamond FM went on air “LIVE” in late May 2007.

Geoff responded: to questions about “where will you and Black Diamond FM be in the future”? He said, “Judging by the response from listeners, the station is now doing quite well what with the Covid pandemic in the past and huge changes in the radio business with consolidations on going, we are still on air, online and hopefully there are plans to even go on DAB while still maintain our independence by providing firstly a LOCAL service to MIDLOTHIAN.

As Black Diamond FM goes forward to our 20th birthday, we feel that we are now truly a part of the Midlothian Community. “So maybe we’ll be here for a long, long time, so here’s to us

Geoff’s has musical tastes that range from Beethoven, the worlds’ greatest ever composer, to Ennio Morricone and Stevie Wonder. As long as it sounds good. Geoff believes “Music should have no boundaries and anything goes in my mind”.

You can catch Geoff most weekdays between 10am and 1pm
