Topic: Radio Clyde


  
  Radio Clyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio Clyde is a radio station broadcaster in Glasgow, Scotland.
Based in Clydebank, the company broadcasts two radio stations in the Glasgow area, Clyde 1 and Clyde 2 and also broadcasts the digital radio station 3C (radio) on the DAB network.
The stations were formerly owned by the Scottish Radio Holdings, but was sold to EMAP when Scottish Media Group sold its remaining shares in 2005.

 Scottish Radio Holdings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scottish Radio Holdings (SRH) was a Scottish media company which owned 22 radio stations, and around 30 local newspapers in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
As a result, in 1974 Radio Clyde began broadcasting and unlike the two existing stations, both in London, was an immediate success helped in part by strong financial backers that included Sean Connery and Jackie Stewart.
In 1991, when laws controlling the ownership of commercial stations were relaxed, the station merged with Radio Forth to form SRH and immediately floated on the London Stock Exchange.

 Interview with Radio Clyde's Suzie McGuire - Associated Content
Her road to landing Clyde 1's lunch time slot was a long one which began when she was just 15 - making tea and coffee at her local station West Sound.
Radio Clyde's top man Paul Cooney came to West Sound looking for presenters for Ayrshire's other radio station West FM and Suzie's rather sexy voice was chosen to co-host the show for a short while before it became her own.
One of the bosses at Clyde 1 once took her out of the studio for saying rude words and Suzie feared she was never going to get back on the air.

Radio stations will be able to provide a local service only by using people on the ground locally.
The issue is whether we should be asking Ofcom to micro-manage what the commercial radio stations do to such an extent as is provided for in the Bill, or whether we should point out that local radio stations have been hugely successful and that the most successful are those that provide the most local service.
