Greatest Hits Radio (Glasgow & the West)

Greatest Hits Radio Glasgow and the West continues the radio identity formerly known as Clyde 2. The service brings Bauer's classic-hits programme to Glasgow and western Scotland, keeping that regional association within a larger network.

The selection concentrates on familiar music from the seventies, eighties and nineties. Popular styles from those years sit together, so listeners can hear a broad range of established songs rather than one genre or a single decade. Presenter-led shows add entertainment and conversation between the recordings.

Listeners to the Glasgow and western Scotland edition hear network voices including Ken Bruce, Zoe Ball and Simon Mayo. PopMaster forms part of Bruce's programme, alongside Golden Years and guest selections. Ball's afternoon show adds Lunchtime Anthem requests and the 54321 quiz, while Mayo's Confessions brings audience stories into the drivetime mix.

The programme is not limited to a succession of familiar singles. Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles explores guests and their music, and Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades brings a vinyl collector's knowledge to weekend listening. Her selections include rarities and an hour of live requests played from original 45s. Des Paul supplies a further specialist angle through the soul, funk and disco of Rhythm Of The Night.

The Glasgow and West service's published public file describes news gathered within its broadcast area, with some material prepared in other Bauer newsrooms. Regional stories appear alongside national and international news, sport, weather and entertainment. The same document identifies programme production in Glasgow and Edinburgh as well as London and Manchester, explaining how the edition combines a Scottish base with network shows.
