Radio City, Clyde under threat?

Some of the strongest local radio stations in the UK could disappear if Charles Allen buys EMAP's radio portfolio, according to Scotland On Sunday.

Allen's plans are, apparently, to wipe out what individuality remains in the "Big City Network" by changing all the stations to the Heart branding owned by his Global Radio group.

Amongst the stations which would disappear are... well, as you've probably gathered from the headline, Radio City in Liverpool and Clyde 1 and 2 in Glasgow - radio brands which have over thirty years of history and a strong local identity.

The gap between headline and story

Did Sarah Harding strip naked for a radio presenter? The Bizarre headline suggests 'yes':

Sarah Harding strips live on air

Blimey. Only... she didn't. What she actually did was show Clyde1's Suzie Maguire some horse-riding injuries:

“Before I knew it her jeans were pulled down and her top lifted as she showed her bruised bottom and back.”

Which, we admit, does sound like an early line from a "readers' true confessions" column, but isn't quite exactly the live, televised titillation the headline hinted at.
