History
Quay West 100.4/102.8 was originally launched as 102.4 Quay West Radio on 15 August 1998. Quay West 107.4 was originally launched in July 2001 as BCRfm, before both BCR and Quay West 100.8/102.4 were bought by Choice Media Group. BCRfm was then renamed Quay West 107.4.
Both stations were owned by SouthWest Radio Ltd, who owned a small number of other commercial radio stations in the UK. The company went into administration and both stations were sold to the Your Media Group but were placed back into administration as of March 2010.
On 24 March 2010, administrators Kirkhills entered the stations, removing all the assets. At around 5pm, both Quay West stations ceased to broadcast.
Both stations and the others in the group were later acquired by One Gold Radio who run the TotalStar group and Quay West became TotalStar Somerset.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
