The station originally started broadcasting online in 2006, run by local Medway charity the Sunlight Development Trust. OFCOM awarded the Trust the licence to broadcast on FM in 2009,^[1] with transmissions starting 27 March 2012 on 106.6FM.

In 2016, Sunlight Development Trust made the decision to change format from FM broadcast to Internet broadcast.
