Overview

Originally broadcasting as Castle Rock FM, the Dumbarton-based licence relaunched as YOUR Radio when it expanded its coverage area to Helensburgh (broadcasting on 106.9 FM). Previously owned by Clyde and Forth Press, it was sold onto Romanes Media Group, until the firm was bought by Newsquest in August 2015.[1] Three months later, the station was bought out for an undisclosed sum by directors Gary Marshall and Spencer Pryor.[2] On 6 September 2018 Nation Radio took ownership of Your Radio.[3]

On 1 April 2020, YOUR Radio became Nation Radio Scotland.
