Your Radio station to close after 18 years
A RADIO station which covers Dunbartonshire, Inverclyde and eastern Argyll and Bute is to close after 18 years if a buyer is not found. The board of directors at Your Radio Ltd decided that continuous losses across a five-year period meant the station is no longer viable, unless a buyer is found by this Sunday, April 29. If no buyer is found, the company will surrender its broadcasting licence back to Ofcom.
Station director Gary Marshall told Radio Today: ‘I’d like to thank the team here at Your Radio for their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm over the past two and half years I’ve been in charge. ‘We know that we became the most listened to radio station in the area with up to 30 per cent of the population tuning in to us on a weekly basis, and we brought a valuable local news and information service to our patch, as well as playing some great tunes and entertaining our listeners.’
