[2] The station originally broadcast on the Digital One ensemble which replaced the temporary Birdsong test transmission which had been running for a year and a half beforehand.
The station subsequently decided it was not worth paying to be on DAB when so much radio listening is now online.
[7][8] Artists to have been played extensively by the station since their earliest recordings include Bastille, Nine Lies, Tom Odell, Haim, The 1975, Chvrches and London Grammar.
In 2020, a separate service was launched, aimed at listeners in the USA, with different presenters.
[9] Previous notable presenters have included Simon Raymonde and Kathryn Tickell.
