Galaxy (radio network)

On Monday 28 April 2008, Galaxy was rebranded as a mainstream station by Creative Spark, with a brand new layout including a fresh logo and a completely new show schedule.

[1] Local programming on the Hit Music stations is now restricted to daily breakfast and weekday drivetime shows.

In 1994, the station was awarded the licence to broadcast on the new Severn Estuary frequency on 101 MHz serving South Wales and the West of England areas and was rebranded as Galaxy 101.

However, Galaxy 101's success in Bristol was starting to falter, and the station was sold to the GWR Group in 2002, becoming Vibe 101 (now Kiss 101).

In August 2009, following Chill being taken off air, Galaxy replaced the station on numerous networks in different areas including Bournemouth, Cambridge, Cardiff, Norwich, Peterborough, Southend and more.

The chart show was produced and made up of the latest and most popular dance, RnB/Rap and pop hits from Galaxy stations and the public.

All programming, with the exception of weekday breakfast/drivetime and weekend afternoons, originates from Capital studios in Leicester Square, London.

Galaxy fell silent on 30 June 2015 when a MXR Yorkshire ensembles was closed and Capital moving to local multiplexes.
