Tower FM

The station later moved to Bolton once the main base was established on Gaskell Street.

Both towns served as the main target service area for the station, although it could also be heard in most of Greater Manchester and even parts of Cheshire.

In early 2007, the station's then-owners approached UK media regulator OFCOM to ask permission to move the station's base from Bolton to the Haydock or Newton Le Willows area of Merseyside as part of a plan to co-locate Tower with two other stations from the UTV Media group - Wish FM in Wigan and Wire FM in Warrington.

The original plan was abandoned but from the autumn of 2009, all three stations were based at studios in the Orrell area of Wigan.
