In September 2022, the station began to tease a relaunch of the former Birmingham ILR brand BRMB on its website[1] and social media.
[2] On 17 August 2023, it was announced that the UK's media regulator, Ofcom, had given Big City Radio approval to rebrand as BRMB.
[3][4] On 20 March 2024, it was reported that Ofcom had fined Big City Radio £1,200 after finding it in breach of its Kay Commitments for not broadcasting enough local content, including news, travel, weather, community information and sport.
The findings related to the pre-BRMB station, and followed an investigation after Ofcom received a complaint about Big City Radio's output.
[5] Notable past presenters at the station include long-established West Midlands radio personality Les Ross who hosted Big City's breakfast show for four months from December 2009.
