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. Karren Brady was made chairman in 2003.
