You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Scottish Radio Holdings''' (SRH) was a [[Scotland|Scottish]] media company which owned 22 [[radio station]]s, and around 30 local [[newspaper]]s in the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[Republic of Ireland]].

==History==

SRH had its origins in the 1970s when [[Glasgow]] was awarded the third licence for a commercial station in the UK. As a result, in 1973 [[Radio Clyde]] began broadcasting. Unlike the two existing commercial stations (both in London), Radio Clyde was an immediate success. This was helped in part by strong financial backers that included [[Sean Connery]] and [[Jackie Stewart]].

In 1991 laws controlling the ownership of commercial stations were relaxed. Clyde merged with [[Radio Forth]] to form SRH and immediately floated on the [[London Stock Exchange]].

In 1995 it acquired Morton Newspapers which owned around 20 newspapers in [[Northern Ireland]]. Since then SRH expanded operations by acquiring further publications in [[Scotland]] and the [[Republic of Ireland]].<ref>((cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/1079487.stm |title=Radio group in takeover talks |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=20 December 2000))</ref>

SRH had a network of 22 stations when it was acquired by rival media group [[Emap]] on 21 June 2005.<ref>((cite news |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12486983.Will_Clyde_flow_on_after_takeover__Concern_over_future_of_city_station_after_pounds_391m_buyout/ |title=Will Clyde flow on after takeover?

SRH's [[UK]] radio operations were integrated into those of Emap with the two SRH-owned Vibe FM stations becoming [[Kiss 101]] and [[Kiss 105-108]]. The group's FM stations in [[Scotland]] formed a local version of the [[Big City Network]] which Emap were already operating in England. Emap also took on SRH's AM stations in Scotland, [[Wave 105]] on England's south coast, and two stations in [[Northern Ireland]] from SRH.

In December 2007, Emap announced that their consumer media interests including radio stations would be sold to [[Hamburg]] based [[Bauer Media Group]].<ref>((cite news | url=http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/772251/emap-sells-magazines-radio-divisions-bauer-114bn# | title = Emap sells magazines and radio divisions to Bauer for £1.14bn |first=Daniel |last=Farey-Jones | publisher =[[Campaign (magazine)|Campaign]] | date = 7 December 2007|accessdate=4 July 2016 ))</ref>
