Following his full acquisition of the Vibe FM dance stations in Norfolk and Bristol last week, Scottish Radio Holdings boss Richard Findlay has told the Media Guardian he is looking at "major opportunities" in England. As reported last week radio group GWR was forced by the competition commission to sell its stake in Vibe to co-owner SRH because GWR had too great a share in the Bristol radio sector. Findlay hopes that coupled with another recent acquisition - Wave 105 - his company can now expand its English operations.
Findlay told the paper: "There are still opportunities in Scotland and Ireland, but our aspiration has always been to expand into England - there are major opportunities in England. The competition commission ruling was a disappointment for GWR. But one door closes, another door opens, and we were able to walk through that open door."
