It was the last BBC Local Radio station to launch which covered a previously unserved area.
It operated as an opt-out station from BBC Radio Devon for around 23 hours a week.
This is now an opt-out from BBC Radio Solent on 103.8 FM using the transmitter at Bincombe Hill and, more recently on several DAB transmitters but neither FM nor DAB reach most of West Dorset due to coverage of the Bincombe Hill / DAB transmitters which effectively only reach mid / south Dorset, leaving much of the county still uncovered.
The BBC has agreed with DorBAG that the ultimate aim is to extend the programme to cover the whole county.
The reporting / editorial team based in the Dorchester studio create and run the programme.
