The station began broadcasting in 1990 when its parent station Downtown Radio ceased simulcasting and split its AM and FM frequencies into two separate services. Downtown Radio continued on 1026 kHz AM and on some FM frequencies and Cool FM was created to broadcast on the 97.4 MHz FM frequency in the Greater Belfast area only. The type of music Cool FM plays is usually pop based. It plays mostly new songs but also plays older classics, particularly on the week night show 'Cool Goes Quiet'. The Station forms part of the Bauer Place Portfolio.
It broadcasts from the Black Mountain transmitting station, located a few miles to the west of Belfast.
