Clyde 1 forms part of Bauer's City 1 network of stations.
History
Clyde 1 was born out of the compulsory transmission splitting enforced by the UK regulators in the 1990s, developing the FM frequency into Radio Clyde into a Top-40 format radio station.
The development of live-streaming and digital radio led to a widening of the station's potential audience through carriage on the station's website and Bauer Radio's DAB multiplex in Glasgow.
The station's Freeview carriage came as a consequence of the closure of stable-mate 3C by the station's then-owners, and resulted in UK-wide coverage.
On 31 December 2013, Radio Clyde celebrated its 40th anniversary, and Clyde 1 marked this occasion with a special show featuring George Bowie and station veteran Tiger Tim Stevens MBE.[1]
