History
Cannock Chase Radio was created by Rob, Jane, and James Hughes, who felt that the area needed a radio station of its own. Many radio stations cover the area, but they felt that the Cannock Chase District was overlooked in terms of radio. Therefore, the trio decided to launch a radio station dedicated exclusively to the area.
During September and October 2014, premises were found in Kingston Court Cannock, opposite the Electric Palace Cinema. The station has since moved to premises in Bridgtown, Cannock.
