Most stations were originally the Medium Wave services of Independent Local Radio stations. For example, Classic Gold 1359 in Coventry was originally part of Mercia Sound and was a full local service. In the 1980s, FM/AM stations split (in this case to Mercia FM and Xtra AM), before the station was bought by GWR radio, and the AM station rebranded to Classic Gold. Mercia FM is still on air today. The format is now owned and operated by UBC, and most stations in the network carry the same programming, except for a local 4-hour afternoon programme from 3pm to 7pm. The stations were previously part of the GWR network, but were sold off as competition rules limited the number of stations a company could own.
