Bauer Radio (formerly EMAP Radio) is a UK-based division of Bauer Media Group.
The Bauer network is divisible into two main groups, the Bauer Place and Bauer Passion units, 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 through digital (and in some areas analogue) platforms.
It was previously divided into the Big City Network (local heritage FM stations), Magic Radio, Bauer Radio London, and Bauer Digital Radio.
Scottish Radio Holdings (SRH) was a Scottish media company which owned 22 radio stations, and around 30 local newspapers in Ireland and the United Kingdom. It was acquired by EMAP on 21 June 2005.
The sale of EMAP Consumer Media and EMAP Radio to Bauer, was completed in January 2008 and the radio division was renamed Bauer Radio.
Bauer is a patron of The Radio Academy.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
