Q96, the GMG owned Glasgow station has changed it's name and format, and will now be known as 96.3 Rock Radio. It will play classic Rock music.
Ofcom recently allowed the station to move into The Real Radio building in Glasgow's East End.
The new launch of Rock Radio will be supported by a marketing campaign and a promise of local news.

Q96 were formerly owned by UTV

At least they play rock, I'm glad to see.

Preston's local station "Rock FM" plays your usual chart shite! Hardly any rock whatsoever!

Yep,and thankfully,that is all they will play,pure rock music and none of the usual pap we get.

There is a guy called Billy Sloan who writes for the Sunday Mail up here,and he had the audacity to say Franz Ferdinand were a great rock band,rock my ass,that mob couldnt spell rock.

I believe it's known as Art Rock

At least they play guitars though Gonz.
