Nation Radio Scotland

Nation Radio Scotland is a commercial music station serving Glasgow, Edinburgh and the central belt. Nation Broadcasting identifies those areas as its Scottish radio audience. The service combines familiar popular songs with presented programmes, offering music-led company rather than a predominantly speech-based schedule.

The Scottish service broadcasts on 96.3 FM for West Central Scotland and is also available through digital radio and online listening. Its local news provision includes reporting gathered within its area. The published weekday bulletin pattern runs from six in the morning until seven in the evening, with weekend local bulletins between nine and midday. Weather information follows the news, making regional information a regular part of the music programme.

Derek McIntyre and John Mulgrew appear in the Scottish weekend line-up, giving the morning hours a different pairing from several other Nation editions. Later programmes include Steve Power and Dr Fox's So... Let's Talk About Music, with Neil Greenslade's House Party taking the music towards a dance-focused Saturday evening. The Scottish schedule therefore combines its own named morning presenters with programmes also carried elsewhere in the group.

Travel reports accompany weekday breakfast and the later afternoon, with at least two updates per hour during the specified commuting periods. The station also takes information about local events submitted by listeners. These practical elements sit beside a programme assembled from Scottish presentation and shared Nation entertainment; the Glasgow, Edinburgh and central-belt audience is served by more than the music selection alone.

Nation Nights takes over after the Saturday House Party and continues into the early hours, before the Scottish morning line-up returns.
