Glasgow DAB radio station Quality Radio will broadcast a special programme ON SUNDAY 4 FEBRUARY at 2.00pm to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Radio Clyde, which came on-air with its first full day of programming on 1 January 1974, having welcomed listeners at 10.30pm on Hogmanay 1973.
Radio Clyde Reunited organiser Norman Ross arranged with Glasgow City Council, a Civic Reception at Glasgow City Chambers in George Square, Glasgow with former ‘261’ DJs and presenters to include Dave Marshall, Steve Jones, Dougie Donnelly, Tony Currie, Paul Coia and Head of Entertainment, Andy Park, who was at Radio Clyde from 1973 for 10 years.
Quality Radio DAB around Glasgow and on 107.5 FM across Renfrewshire will broadcast this significant programme of interviews with the Radio Clyde team at the launch and early years on Sunday 4 February at 2pm, which is also available online at qualityradio.uk and smart speaker “Alexa, Play Quality radio UK”
Programme producer and long serving Radio Clyde 261 presenter Norman Ross said: “I felt that it was appropriate to mark the 50th anniversary of Radio Clyde with as many of the original team as possible. Glasgow City Council made us most welcome at the City Chambers in George Square in the centre of Glasgow.
Apart from the well-known presenters, also attending were members of the news department with Martin Frizell now working with ITV, and Charles FitzGerald making the journey from Dublin to Glasgow for the event plus Jim Symon now at STV; legendary engineer John Lumsden and production people like John McCalman and Annie Wood.”
