[1] It was believed that using well known radio personalities would increase the popularity and also help it to expand [2] The station featured Angela Catterns as a Presenter and host of Daily Crunch programme as well as John Carroll as a music director and scheduler and Ian Rogerson as the creative director.

Bruce Robson, the stations marketing director, mainly blamed this to bad timing as the station was introduced, shortly after the demise of other internet sites such as K-Grind and Spike and therefore investors were not as willing to invest as before[4][5][6] Chris Gilbey, co-founder of BigFatRadio and chief executive officer of parent company InterActive Media Network, said the concept was "perhaps a little ahead and a little behind the game'", as such an exact attempt at a radio station had not been attempted before however they were not expecting the ending it had received.
