Radio Clyde / Radio Scotland on M74. As I thought they were to assist getting local traffic information I would have expected it to be on the other carriageway - heading into rather than out of Glasgow / Radio Clyde's broadcast area.

A number of these signs will have to be updated to reflect that in many areas BBC Local Radio does not broadcast on MW and Bauer and Global have all-but fully withdrawn from MW.

There's another Radio Clyde / Radio Scotland one on the M73 just before junction 2A northbound.

Not quite on-topic, but I was surprised to see signs advertising Radio Caroline at the A12/A14 junction east of Ipswich.
Make poetry history.

These are great as they have the pre-1987 BBC logo and the IBA logo. That gives you a clue as to their age...swissferry wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2023 18:39 There's another Radio Clyde / Radio Scotland one on the M73 just before junction 2A northbound.

Terminally cynical, unimpressed, and nearly Middle Age already.
She said life was like a motorway; dull, grey, and long.

Re: Local radio stations on motorway signs
Suspected they were older than junction 2A (1999) as I'd like to think they wouldn't have been erected so close to a junction.Bryn666 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 12:44These are great as they have the pre-1987 BBC logo and the IBA logo.
