It is the Canterbury region of the KMFM radio network (owned by the KM Group), containing local advertisements and sponsorships for the area amongst a countywide schedule of programming.

The station became the fastest growing in the UK in terms of listenership with a 48% increase in listening in Q4 RAJAR 2000 (in part due to highly successful sponsorship deal with the University of Kent Cricket Club) and a 500% increase in peak listening, during the Ian St James breakfast show.

In 2001 programme sharing initially began on Saturday nights with Brian Jones presenting his show across TLR and CTFM.

The KM Group later took control of Neptune Radio, after which programme sharing began across all three neighbouring East Kent stations.

In 2008, following Ofcom approval, the studios and presenters were allowed to move to the KMFM Ashford building,[3] although the sales teams continue to be based in Canterbury.
