96.3 Rock Radio is a classic rock independent local radio station serving the Renfrewshire and Central Scotland area. It replaces Q96, which was acquired by GMG Radio from The Wireless Group and UTV Radio.
The station broadcasts classic rock tracks, which GMG hopes will appeal to a wide market but with a slight bias to 35 to 64 year old males.
The station will continue to broadcast local news and content for the area from its new studios built within its sister station Real Radio, situated just off the M8 at Baillieston.
From 8th January 2007, 96.3 Rock Radio broadcast to a new larger Total Survey Area (TSA) of over 800,000 adults and will be supported by a significant marketing campaign. The campaign focuses on classic rock tracks with a Scottish slant such as "Broon Sugar" and "Should I Stay or Should I No".
