Scottie McClue Returns with a Softer Voice and a Stronger Mission:
Introducing Scottie’s Sanctuary

[Sheffield, UK] — One of the UK’s most recognisable and once-controversial radio voices is making a powerful return — this time with a difference.

This September, legendary broadcaster Scottie McClue launches a brand-new late-night phone-in show: Scottie’s Sanctuary. Designed as a warm and welcoming space, the show invites listeners to call in, open up, and simply be heard — without interruption, confrontation, or judgment.

Broadcast via Radio Essentials, Sheffield Essentials, and the wider Essentials Digital Network, Scottie’s Sanctuary represents a striking evolution in tone from McClue’s earlier, more provocative radio years.

“There was a time I thrived on strong opinions and fierce debates,” says Scottie. “But the world has changed — and so have I. Scottie’s Sanctuary is a safe place for real people, real emotions, and real connection. This is late-night radio with heart.”

Airing live from September 2025 (days and times TBC), the show will offer thoughtful conversations, compassionate listening, and the signature voice of Scottie McClue — now dedicated to creating a space of comfort, calm, and community. Listeners will be able to call in to talk about anything: from loneliness to life advice, from late-night thoughts to shared laughter.

A National Vision for 2026

While the show launches from Sheffield, the ambition is national. By the end of 2026, Scottie’s Sanctuary is expected to roll out across the UK as a fully syndicated programme, bringing this new style of late-night radio to stations and listeners nationwide.

“This isn’t just a show,” says Scottie. “It’s a mission — to create something kinder, more human, and more needed than ever.”
