Public File
Clyde 1, like each local commercial station in the UK has obligations with regard to its programmes, including its music and local content. These obligations are set out in the station Format which forms part of our Public File.

Except in special or exceptional circumstances (which may include some public holiday periods,) the station broadcasts news bulletins hourly with Local and Regional bulletins from 0600 until 2100 (Friday, 19:00), with additional headlines in weekday breakfast and evening drive periods. Bulletins contain a mix of local/regional, national and world stories, along with sport, weather and entertainment news.
At the weekend, bulletins containing local/regional, national and world news, along with sport, weather and entertainment news, are broadcast between 0700 and 1300 and regional/national and world news from 14:00 to 18:00.
Additionally, at other times, bulletins containing national and world news, prepared by Sky News, may be broadcast in some hours.
The news operation is based at our studios in Clydebank for the most part and during peak times. From time to time, some content is prepared from other Bauer Radio Limited newsrooms across our network of stations in Scotland.
