Friday July 2nd saw the official relaunch of Future Radio 107.8FM, and the end of transmissions on our old frequency.

At 8.30am, Terry Lee (hosting an extended 5 hour relaunch show) signalled the end of 96.9FM with a 'funeral song', which was provided by the Sex Pistols 'God Save The Queen'. As the song faded James Bensley and Station Manager Tom Buckham pulled the plug on our old transmitter, and the sounds of Primal Scream 'Moving on Up' officially launched Future Radio 107.8FM.
