History

In April 2008, the station became part of Total Sense Media, after merging with neighbouring radio station Mid Sussex-based Bright FM. [2] In June 2009, the group added Arrow FM in Hastings and Sovereign FM in Eastbourne to their portfolio from TLRC. [3]

In November 2010, Ofcom approved a request to share programming across all four stations, stating the changes would not substantially alter the character of the service. [4]

Programming

All programming on the station is produced locally from More Radio's Burgess Hill studios and shared with More Radio Hastings (formerly Arrow FM), More Radio Mid-Sussex (Bright FM) and More Radio Eastbourne (Sovereign FM). [5]

Local news airs every hour from 6am to 6pm on weekdays and from 8am to 12pm on Saturdays with headlines on the half-hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime shows. [6] National news bulletins from Sky News Radio are carried hourly at all other times.
