History
The station was created in May 2003 by local residents Roy Stannard and David Cunningham who had collaborated on local RSL and hospital radio projects, when the team they assembled won the broadcast licence for the Worthing area. Veteran television and radio broadcaster David Hamilton broadcast the first show live from the studios within Worthing's Guildbourne Centre.
The original presenters at the time of launch were:

Simon Osborne |
Pete McIntosh |
In April 2008 the station became part of Media Sound Holdings, after merging with neighbouring radio station Mid Sussex-based Bright FM.
In June 2009, Media Sound Holdings added Arrow FM in Hastings and Sovereign FM in Eastbourne to their collection from TLRC.
In November 2010, Ofcom approved Media Sound Holdings's application to share all content across their four stations, given that the stations "already share all programming outside of breakfast, so these changes will not substantially alter the character of the service."

Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
