Default Vibe Fm Listeners In Bristol & East Anglia............

Is now to be Kiss100

Well sort of......

From 06/09/06 Vibe 101 in Bristol and Vibe FM in East Anglia will become Kiss and the whole network will boast a refreshed, re-invigorated sound; new talent; new logo and station identity.

Kiss 101 (the former Vibe 101 in Bristol) and Kiss 105-108 (formerly Vibe in East Anglia) will enjoy the best of London¹s new line-up, with some networked shows at the weekends, as well as benefiting from new local shows in the daytime schedule. The stations will also keep the very best of their strong heritage local talent.

See this thread for a full explanation:

https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=219733


Here is the full storey:

Galaxy 101 was sold to GWR Group and Scottish Radio Holdings in 2002 and rebranded Vibe 101, but this purchase was subsequently vetoed by the Competition Commission over concerns regarding control of the Bristol radio advertising markek...................

Vibe 101 (currently broadcasting as Vibe FM) will be relaunched as Kiss 101 on 6th September 2006 as Emap integrates the stations.

Vibe 105-108 FM will also be rebranded as Kiss on the same date, and these changes will be implemented simultaneously with a major relaunch of Kiss 100, in which all three stations will receive the new Kiss logo and the revised Kiss format.

Emap recently gained clearance from the UK communications regulator Ofcom to network programming between Vibe 101, Vibe 105-108 and Kiss 100.

Emap have also pledged to significantly increase the amount of specialist programming on the two Vibe stations, with the minumum weekly amount of specialist output stated on the Vibe licences more than doubling from 16 to 36 hours.

apparently the new style "LOOK" is being unveiled on 6th !

when this new station for sw and wales was awarded i am sure it was ment to be LOCAL but i have read on other forums (or should that be fora - if i am being posh ) that for our area only breakfast and drive are gonna be local !

i just hope reece (our big fat valley boy LOL) is gonna still be sticking his stuff around the place OOOO AHHH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!
