Big City Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Big City Network is the name given to a network of Independent Local Radio stations across Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland all owned by EMAP. Since EMAP's acquisition of Metropolitan Broadcasting in 1998 there has been gradual brand integration such as a standard logo and websites. Also some of the Big City Network stations have sister Magic Radio stations broadcast from the same locations.
All of the former Scottish Radio Holdings were added to the Big City Network on 28 September 2006, branded as Big City Network Scotland and NI although this is thought to be for ease of advertising and all stations still carry their original logos and programming. West Sound is the only AM station in the network.
Big City's biggest rival radio network is GCap Media's The One Network, with over thirty eight local stations.
