After a period of sales and takeovers which led to Gold being operated by a separate company to its FM sister station, both are now owned by Global Radio.
Gold North Wales and Cheshire was replaced by Smooth Radio in March 2014.
Despite the changes in ownership, Classic Gold Marcher continued to share facilities with the GWR Group-owned former sister station, MFM 103.4.
[1] As a result, the station's Wrexham and Chester licence was renamed "Gold North Wales and Cheshire".
When the station was providing local programmes in daytime, Drivetime ended an hour earlier than the rest of the Gold Network at 6pm for an hour-long Welsh language programme called Cŵl Cymru which was networked with Champion 103 and later repeated at 10pm on Coast 96.3.
