History
The licence, covering the Yorkshire and Humberside region, was one of the biggest in the UK outside London, and it was won by Faze FM, who already operated Kiss 102 in Manchester. EMAP who owned London's Kiss 100 gave Faze permission to license the name.
The station was launched by Bam Bam at 01:05pm, 14 February 1997 and the first track played was 'I Like It (Lisa Marie Vocal Experience)' by Angel Moraes. Most programming came from Leeds but some specialist shows were simulcast on both Kiss stations.
Later in 1997, both stations were sold to Chrysalis Radio who rebranded the stations as Galaxy 105 as the brand licence required them to relinquish the name.
Technical
A total of four transmitters were used to cover the whole of Yorkshire. The East Riding of Yorkshire is served by 105.8, Sheffield by 105.6, Bradford by 105.6 and a general Yorkshire transmitter on 105.1 FM. The studios were based at Joseph's Well, Hanover Walk, Park Lane in Leeds, West Yorkshire and are still used for Capital Yorkshire. Some of the programmes were shared with the Manchester station.[1]
