On
28 May 2009, Radio Hampshire ceased broadcasting due to Town & Country
Broadcasting deciding to sell the station. On 5 June 2009, the two licences
for Radio Hampshire in Southampton and Winchester were acquired by internet
station Play Radio UK.
The
new station for Southampton and Winchester, named Play Radio, launched
on the 107.2 and 107.8 FM frequencies at 10am on 4 July 2009.[4] As
under Radio Hampshire, the station operated a split breakfast programme
(one for Southampton and one for Winchester), with all other programming
shared across the two frequencies.
The
Breeze
In
April 2010, the licences were purchased by Celador Radio Broadcasting
for an undisclosed sum.
It
was announced on 21 June 2010 that the service would be relaunched as
The Breeze 107.
