103.2 Alpha Radio (formerly A1FM, Alpha 103.2, 103.2 Alpha FM, Alpha Radio) was an Independent Local Radio station based in Darlington, County Durham, England. [1]

History

When launched in 1995, Alpha was owned by Radio Investments Ltd while First Radio Sales [2]

In 2009, Alpha was joined by neighboring station Minster Northallerton to share the sudio complex in a cost cutting exercise. To make further savings, both Alpha and Minster Northallerton, along with Durham FM were rebranded as Star Radio North East which meant all three stations lost their heritage names and and now only produce a daily breakfast show.

Most recently the station had sung radio jingles made by Bespoke Music.[3]
