I do wonder if/when the radio digital switchover happens, if we'll see the current AM stations (Absolute Radio, BBC Radio 5 Live, Gold, Smooth, TalkSport, etc.) move to FM.

After a fair few hours of effort, I've completed the table for Greatest Hits Radio. I am also planning on doing a table for all the current BBC Radio stations. However, don't be surprised if this takes a while. As before, excellent work. I think Clyde 2 spent some time being called "Clyde AM&q...

I have just completed the table for Smooth & Gold. I was not originally going to have a table for Gold. However, it was difficult to justify considering that most of the current Smooth stations were formerly Gold stations, so it made sense to put the two together.

Merger table for Heart now available: https://up.metropol247.co.uk/BBI45/Heart.pdf

Most notable sections (IMO) are Heart East, Heart South, and Heart West.

Just completed the updated version for Capital: https://up.metropol247.co.uk/BBI45/Capital%202.pdf

I think it does a better job of showing how many mergers have occurred whilst still allowing you to see where the small local splits for news and advertising remain.

I've just been trying to work my way through the table for Heart, but it's exposed some issues with how everything is being presented given that some mergers have had an impact on things like news output, whilst others have not. With this in mind, I have decided that I will restart all the tables fo...

Excellent work. After Capital Radio Group bought Beat 106, it did turn a bit less dancey than its original format, and even took on the Capital 'red lips' logo for a while before pivoting to XFM. XFM Scotland was great, but I realise I was probably about its only listener. I don't know if it's wort...

Just completed a version for Capital, which can be downloaded here: https://up.metropol247.co.uk/BBI45/Capital.pdf What I think is worth noting on this one is Marcher Sound doing what I'm now gonna call the "ol' Piccadilly" (keeping widely known name on AM, whilst launching a new name on F...

Nice work, this is really interesting. I wonder why it took Piccadilly Radio a few more years than the others to split their AM frequency into a gold station? They split off at the same time as the others. The only difference is that whilst most stations kept their "main" service on FM wh...

Recently, I've been a bit bored and have started working on some tables showing how radio stations of the past, merged into the networks we know today.

We'll start off with Greatest Hits Radio: https://up.metropol247.co.uk/BBI45/Grea ... 0Radio.pdf
