In 1998, media students at UWE decided to revamp Fresh FM and rebranded the station as Radio Base.

The station was relaunched again later in 2002 with an online stream, a five-year AM licence and moved into a space in The Rackhay.

On the brink of closure in 2007, students Rob Green and Alex Bright volunteered to take the station over from union staff.

In years to follow, budgets were increased to cover promotion, new equipment and wages for main team members.
