It is owned and operated by Total Sense Media and broadcasts from studios in Burgess Hill, as part of a network of stations across Sussex.

The second RSL was based on board an old ferry from the Shetland Islands called the Earl of Zetland, which was temporarily moored in Sovereign Harbour.

Some of the station's original presenters included Gavin Lawrence, Paul Martin, Terry James and Zora Suleman.

The full licence for the Eastbourne and Hailsham area was eventually awarded in 1994 to another, unconnected, group which later included several members of the team from the previous temporary station.

The station was later acquired by The Local Radio Company in 2000 and for a year, was once again managed by co-founder of the original (1992) RSL station Mark Briggs, who also managed neighbouring sister stations Arrow FM in Hastings and Neptune Radio (now KMFM in Dover and Folkestone).
