With news and sport now reduced to just a few minutes on Real Radio Scotland - when, previously, it used to occupy two, 50-minute slots each day - it’s perhaps no surprise that its journalists are seeking pastures new.

The latest to go, Karen MacKinnon, left on Friday, to become a government press officer, with the Department of Work and Pensions.

Karen - who worked at Saga 105.2, in Glasgow, before it was bought by Real owner, GMG, and re-branded as Smooth - is the fifth departure in recent weeks, the others being Fiona Deans, Lindsey Ingram, Donna Rafferty and Angeline McConville.
