History
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Clyde 1 was born out of the compulsory transmission splitting enforced by the UK regulators in the 1990s, developing the FM frequency into Radio Clyde into a Top-40 format radio station.
The development of live-streaming and digital radio led to a widening of the station's potential audience through carriage on the station's website and Bauer Radio's DAB multiplex in Glasgow.
The station's Freeview carriage came as a consequence of the closure of stable-mate 3C by the station's then-owners, and resulted in UK-wide coverage.
On 31 December 2013, Radio Clyde celebrated its 40th anniversary.[1]

The station also opts out of some networked output to broadcast additional local programming.
