[2] Due to financial issues and budget cuts at Celador, SamFM Swindon was merged into the Bristol sister station of the same name.

[citation needed] Following the buyout a number of the station's staff resigned, allegedly due to lack of payment.

In October 2008, Brunel FM was sold again to South West Radio Ltd,[5] following the collapse of Laser Broadcasting which went into administration.

YMC Ltd then ran the five licensed stations as a group, with local programming throughout the day and some networked output over the weekend.

[8] The group decided not to contest the renewal of the Bath licence, which was awarded to Celador and was rebranded as The Breeze in September 2011.

Sam FM Swindon stopped transmitting on 1 September 2020 and the frequency was given to the Greatest Hits Radio national network.
