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.
