Q96
Q96 was an Independent Local Radio station, that broadcast for 14 years in the Scottish county of Renfrewshire. Q96 broadcast as an FM station on the 96.3 MHz frequency after a local licence for the Paisley area was offered. The station was latterly based outside its dedicated broadcast region, in the Baillieston area of neighbouring Glasgow, at the headquarters it shared with sister station Real Radio after Ofcom approval. The station was replaced by 96.3 Rock Radio for test transmissions on 22 December 2006 and officially from Monday 8 January 2007. History Q96 first went live on 1 September 1992, broadcasting from Paisley as a local radio station for Paisley, and Renfrewshire.

During the station's early years, it used the Supergold sustaining service after midnight until the resumption of normal programming in the morning. The station was bought by IRG in December 1995 and rebranded as 96.3 QFM the following year. Q96 broadcasts on both DAB and FM to
