Clyde Rocks was a trial Scottish Independent Local Radio station serving Glasgow and West Central Scotland. [1] The station was dedicated to rock music alongside sports news and discussion and was operated by Radio Clyde (part of Bauer Radio). The station broadcast on DAB and online for 30 days, but was axed after the trial was completed. Clyde Rocks was a contender for the then advertised 96.3FM licence for Glasgow and The West of Scotland, [2] but however, lost out to the all new Rock Radio Glasgow.
