Bauer City 1 is a network of 20 CHR local radio stations in Northern England, Scotland and the West Midlands, owned and operated by Bauer Radio.
The stations, which carry separate localised branding, air a mix of local and networked music-led programming, alongside local news, travel and sport. The majority of networked programming is produced and broadcast from Key 103 in Manchester and Clyde 1 in Glasgow.
Local programming - consisting of at least eight hours on weekdays and 4 hours on Saturdays and Sundays - is mainly produced and broadcast live from the originating station's studios. The main exception is TFM, which shares all programming with Newcastle-based Metro Radio.
From July 2017, West FM in Ayrshire will move its output to Clyde 1's Clydebank studios, but will retain its local programming with local news, sales and charity staff based in Ayr.
The majority of networked programming is broadcast from Key 103 in Castlefield, Manchester and Clyde 1 in Clydebank, Glasgow. Networked output also originates from Forth 1 in Edinburgh. Apart from some weekend and overnight output, separate networked shows are produced for Scotland and England.

On 28 July 2015, Bauer announced it would reintroduce further separate programming for Scotland and Northern England, including split editions of Old Skool and Anthems and the weekday evening and Sunday morning shows. The changes were introduced during August 2015.
In February 2017, the Free Radio group of stations in the West Midlands began carrying off-peak programming from the network, replacing most of its own regional output from Birmingham.
