Clyde 1 to move back into Glasgow city centre after 42 years in Clydebank
Clyde 1 will broadcast live from Glasgow city centre from Spring 2026.
As announced this morning on Bowie at Breakfast, after more than four decades in Clydebank, Clyde 1 is returning to Glasgow’s city centre, moving into an notable new home at 100 Queen Street in Spring 2026.
The station launched at 10.30pm on 31 December 1973 from the Anderston Centre, before relocating to Clydebank in 1983. Now, in a landmark move, it will once again call the city centre home.
The new space at 100 Queen Street will feature open-plan offices and state-of-the-art studios for flagship shows including Bowie at Breakfast, Garry Spence, Superscoreboard, Grant Thomson, Callum Gallacher, Amber and the award-winning Clyde 1 news team.
They’ll be joined by colleagues from Cash for Kids, Bauer Create, and commercial teams, bringing the full Clyde 1 family under one stylish roof.
Situated across from the Gallery of Modern Art and overlooking Glasgow’s iconic Duke of Wellington statue (cone optional), the location is as distinctive as the station itself.
George Bowie, presenter of Bowie@Breakfast, said: "I started my career in Clydebank, so I’ll always have great memories of the place. But moving back into the city centre, into brand-new, state-of-the-art studios, is such an exciting step - and what a view of the Duke of Wellington to inspire us every morning!"
Cassi, co-presenter of Bowie@Breakfast, added: "We’ve had so many incredible moments in Clydebank - interviews with the world’s biggest stars, live sessions from the likes of Clydebank local Marti Pellow, and global popstars Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift. And of course, so many laughs, tears, and unforgettable stories with our amazing listeners. We can’t wait for them to be part of this next chapter."
David Robertson, Director of Content, Hits Radio Network (Scotland & N.I.), said: "Clyde 1 has been Glasgow and the West’s number one station for over 50 years. As we continue to evolve in a fast-paced digital world, this move reflects our commitment to staying ahead - with modern facilities that will help us grow our market-leading position into the future."
"We’re thrilled to have found such a fitting new home - right in the city centre, next to one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks. Our teams can’t wait to get settled in and begin this exciting new era."
