Bauer Radio is a UK-based radio division of the Bauer Media Group. The Bauer network is divisible into two main groups, the Bauer City & Bauer National portfolios, with Place consisting of locally focused services primarily broadcast on FM/AM and local digital platforms, and Passion consisting of national and quasi-national music-genre services delivered nationally and quasi-nationally, mainly through digital platforms. ==History== Bauer's ''The Place'' network was originally known as the ''Big City Network''. In 2006, many of the former Scottish Radio Holdings stations were added to the network and branded as ''Big City Network Scotland and Northern Ireland'', although all stations kept their original logos, with the exception of CFM. West Sound was the only AM station in the network although it did not carry any of the networked programming carried by the FM stations. In April 2011 Bauer Radio announced it would be restructuring its radio portfolio into two divisions: locally focused and heritage stations, including many of the Big City stations, South Coast station Wave 105 and London station Magic 105.4 FM would also become part of the "Bauer Place" division, with branded music-category stations such as Kiss and Kerrang Radio forming a second sub-brand, "Bauer Passion" - the Big City Network identity was dropped as part of the restructuring.〔("Bauer drops Big City image", Radio Today, 14 Apr 2011 )〕 In April 2013, Bauer announced it would merge its two North East England stations, Metro Radio and TFM. Both stations broadcast shared programming from Newcastle and Manchester while carrying separate branding, news bulletins and advertising.〔(TFM leaves Teesside to share with Metro ), RadioToday, 5 April 2013〕 In September 2014, Bauer announced it would be restructuring its radio portfolio as from January 2015. Magic AM in England was dropped in favour of the stations reverting to their heritage station names.〔(Greatest Hits Network Change request form ) Ofcom〕〔(Magic Changes Ofcom Request Form ) Ofcom〕 The stations now form part of the new 'City 2' network serving both Scotland and Northern England. A 'City 3' network on DAB replacing The Hits Radio (in most areas) launched on Monday 19 January 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bauer Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
