History
Nova Radio started life as 107.7 WFM and launched in October 1999 with jingles produced by Steve England, the original presenter line-up included Anthony Ballard (now at BFBS), Steve Carpenter, Chris Criddle (now working at The Breeze), Scott Temple (now working at The Breeze), and Andy Saunders (now at Cheddar's Pulse Radio).
The station was then later rebranded by new owners UKRD as a way of recognition of its existing Star brand. The station was then known as Star 107.7 before changing to Star Radio in North Somerset. In November 2009, Star Radio (North Somerset) was sold by UKRD and renamed Nova Radio on 26 September 2010 at 7am.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
