The station was based at Marlborough Boys' College and broadcast on 89FM with the callsign 2STA.
This station originally went to air in 1986 and only operated on a part-time basis during school lunch times and some evenings.
The station was later sold to Marlborough Media and the name shortened to Sounds FM.
Marlborough Media also operated a second station called Easy FM.
Former host Glen Kirby left the station in 2015, along with Natasha Knox, who returned in 2017.
