In 2000, Bauer Radio then Emap launched Kerrang! as a digital radio station, across the UK. The station bid on a number of new FM licences including Manchester & East Midlands but lost out, the West Midlands licence was however successful. The station launched on 10 June 2004 originally from Birmingham City Football Club and it then moved to a dedicated studio in Lionel Street, Birmingham near the BT Tower, and broadcasts from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter but the main station is in Manchester. Karren Brady was made chairman in 2003. Current breakfast show is hosted by Loz Guest and Keith Kleinfeldt, with other shows from Danielle Perry, Kate Lawler, Matt Stocks, Johnny Doom, Hywel & Jamie and Jake Thomson.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
