History

The station was the newest radio station when it opened on 27 November 2003 in Gosford. The first studios were located in one of Australia's largest malls, Erina Fair, and were dubbed the Fishbowl, due to the station being an experiment in the new style of accessible, local, listener driven radio. In 2014, the station relocated studios to the base of The Kensmen Building on 131–133 Donnison Street in the CBD.
