It is programmed according to the AC format (any popular song from the 1980s to today that is not rap/hip hop, hard rock, or dance).

[1] Sky Radio launched in the Netherlands on 30 September 1988 and was founded by Veronica DJ's Lex Harding and Ton Lathouwers.

This procedure and other test cases in which FM terrestrial frequencies under judicial pressure were made available to commercial radio stations were otherwise formally led by two media legal experts from the University of Amsterdam under the title "De Vrije Ether b.v." (English: The Free Ether Ltd.).

This station could only be received via cable and was replaced after 11 December 1992 by Radio 538, founded by Lex Harding and Erik de Zwart.

In February 2006, Sky Radio was bought from News Corporation for €190 million by the Telegraaf Media Group NV.

In 2006, Sky Radio introduced a so-called muziekgarantie (music warranty), promising not to play the same track twice between 9 AM and 5 PM.

After the collapse of the transmitter mast Zendstation Smilde at Hoogersmilde in July 2011, the station was temporarily taken off air in the far northeast of the country - the station operated on a number of low-power temporary frequencies in that area (including the frequency of 89.2 which lies outside its standard allocation) until summer 2012.

Half of the playlist now consists of current hit songs by artists such as Adele, Ilse Delange, Train, Michael Bublé, P!nk, Robbie Williams and Bløf.

In 2011, the Sky audio logo was modified after 23 years, changing all jingles and the news, weather and traffic leaders.

Sky Radio had its own news service from 1992 until early 2013, but it disappeared due to budget cuts.

During the winter months, Sky Radio is available along the east coast of England due to the clear airwaves.

Ultimately it is for the Telegraaf Media Groep NV been a consideration to sell 49% of the station in November 2007 in Regiocast in preparation for a full sale.
