at the "Old Talbot Pub
" in Southgate Street, Gloucester
. The pub had been bought by local businessmen including Clive Lindley (Chairman of the Roadchef motorway service stations and Chairman of Severn Sound). The station's first employee was Chief Engineer Quentin Howard who converted the pub into the radio station.

The Severn Sound owners were a locally based consortium of businessman with the Managing Director Graham Moon formerly of DJM Records who committed suicide
just a year after the station launched. He had been asked to resign at a morning board meeting following poor revenue figures. By the afternoon he had been sacked and Eddie Vickers took over as MD. That evening Moon committed suicide on Cleve Common using the exhaust gasses of his company car. Moon was noted for his launch of the radio station which used sophisticated brand marketing techniques in advance of anything seen before in local radio.
One notable Director was the writer Dennis Potter
who played an active role in the station's early years and lived in Ross on Wye. Potter's Pennies from Heaven producer, Kenith Trodd
, presented a Sunday programme of 78 records featuring singers such as Al Bowlly
, which Todd and Potter had used in Pennies from Heaven. Another Director was England rugby player, Mike Burton, who also started Gullivers Travels, a sports travel agency.
In 1983 two of the station's engineers were killed on an outside broadcast. The pneumatic mast of their radio car touched an overhead 11kV power line whilst they were preparing for a live broadcast from Stinchcombe. The inquiry into the accident found Severn Sound guilty of Health and Safety offences and fined the company £2,500. Many new safety procedures for radio cars were introduced across the industry as a result of the accident.
The station was sold to the Chiltern Radio Group after some resistance in 1989 and later taken over by the GWR group in 1995. GCap Media
was sold to Global Radio
in 2008.

In 1992 Three Counties Radio was rebranded as Severn Sound Supergold (it also stopped being promoted in Hereford & Worcester) and was rebranded again in 1996 by new owners GWR as Severn Sound Classic Gold. Ownership rules meant that GWR had to sell all their Classic Gold licences to UBC Media and another rebrand to Classic Gold 774 followed.
