Scots may not like Emap radio change

Nine Scottish radio stations could lose their local branding under plans being considered by former ITV boss Charles Allen if he succeeds in acquiring Emap Radio. Allen's Global Radio group is said to be keen to convert some, or all, of Emap's 20 big city network stations to its flagship Heart brand, which broadcasts in London. This would provoke a backlash in Scotland, where the Glasgow-based Clyde and the Edinburgh-based Forth, are well regarded. (Via Scotland on Sunday)
