[1] From its launch in 2005, Durham FM was owned and operated by TLRC.
[3] In July 2009, Ofcom give permission to rename Durham FM to Alpha Durham, and sister station Minster Northallerton to Alpha Northallerton.
Previously, TLRC asked for Ofcom approval to move Durham FM further north to Sunderland to share facilities with Sun FM, but a decision was delayed by the regulator.
[4] Instead, the three stations became part of UKRD's Star brand and the station's frequencies were then used to broadcast Star Radio North East which was formed when UKRD merged the services of Durham FM with Alpha 103.2 and Minster Northallerton.
Until 2010, a daily local breakfast show was produced for the former Durham FM area.
