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.
