The station bid on a number of new FM licences including Manchester & East Midlands but lost out, the West Midlands licence was however successful. The station launched on 10 June 2004 originally from Birmingham City Football Club and it then moved to a dedicated studio in Lionel Street, Birmingham near the BT Tower, and broadcasts from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter but the main station is in Manchester. Karren Brady was made chairman in 2003. Current breakfast show is hosted by Loz Guest and Keith Kleinfeldt, with other shows from Danielle Perry, Kate Lawler, Matt Stocks, Johnny Doom, Hywel & Jamie and Jake Thomson.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
