Tony Currie — 1951–2026**
**A true legend of Scottish television and radio.**
SC1 Radio are deeply saddened by the passing of Tony Currie, a familiar voice and much-respected figure in Scottish broadcasting whose remarkable career spanned television and radio over many decades.
Tony spent many years working in continuity for both STV and BBC Scotland.
After more than a decade at STV's Cowcaddens studios, Tony became Controller of Programmes at the Cable Authority before moving to the Independent Television Commission (ITC) as its Cable Programming Controller.
Tony subsequently returned to broadcasting in Scotland, providing continuity for BBC Scotland until his retirement six years ago.
But television was only part of Tony's story.
Radio remained one of his great passions throughout his life. His broadcasting career began on radio in the United States before he returned home to Scotland and joined STV. Across the years, his unmistakable voice could be heard on the airwaves, and he continued broadcasting with Radio Six International right up until his passing.
Tony belonged to a generation of broadcasters whose voices became part of everyday life. His knowledge, professionalism and passion for broadcasting left an enduring mark on Scottish radio and television.
Our deepest condolences and sympathies go to Tony's family, friends, colleagues and everyone who had the privilege of knowing or working alongside him.
Tony may have left the microphone for the final time, but his contribution to broadcasting will live on. Here at SC1 Radio, we will do our part to ensure that his work and memory are not forgotten.
**Goodnight, Tony — and thank you for everything.**
