History

[edit]

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 until it was removed on 30 October 2008.

The event included some of the many artists which are broadcast on the station, past events have featured Calvin Harris, Labrinth, Jessie J, Olly Murs, The Sugababes, Amelia Lily, Pixie Lott, Mcfly, Lawson, Cover Drive, Matt Cardle, Gary Barlow,[1] John Newman, The Vamps and also Dappy. On the 5th of February 2024, it was announced that Clyde 1 would bring back Clyde 1 Live to celebrate the station's 50th anniversary. This event took place on the 31st of May 2024

Programming

[edit]

The station's local presenters include George Bowie (Bowie at Breakfast/The GB Xperience), Garry Spence, Steven Mill and Cassi Gillespie (Bowie at Breakfast and Sunday afternoons).[2]
