  96.4 BRMB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BRMB was originally based in Aston Road North, in the Aston district of Birmingham, near the Spaghetti Junction.
BRMB's popularity has dwindled in recent years, with increasingly popular West Midlands rival station 100.7 Heart FM having pushed BRMB into second place both in Birmingham and in the wider West Midlands region.
BRMB is available on DAB Digital Radio in the Birmingham area, live on the Internet, and on 96.4 FM Stereo.BRMB often broadcasts the same content as Severn Sound,Wyvern fm and Beacon radio because all 4 radio stations are owned by GCap Media.

Les moved from FM to AM for four years, bringing his audience with him and adding to it on Mercia Sound's AM frequency which also carried XTRA, leaving other presenters to carry out a near impossible task of replacing Les on FM breakfast.
BRMB was then owned by the much missed Midlands Radio plc which was swallowed up by GWR who then flogged the Birmingham FMer on to Capital who wanted it for their 'Capital Cities' portfolio.
On his retirement, BRMB Programme Controller Adam Bridge said "Les Ross has been the voice of breakfast radio in Birmingham and BRMB for almost 27 years which is an outstanding achievement and he is, by a considerable margin, the longest serving breakfast presenter in one location in the UK.

 Buzz FM - 102.4 - Birmingham
Buzz FM cost £500,000 to set up and would serve 650,000 people in its prime service area of central Birmingham, but Lindsay estimated that 1.1 to 1.2 million will be able to tune in, even though the centrally located transmitter would be very weak.
BUZZ FM's own remit was to provide a sophisticated music-based service, serving and informing a unified audience of multi-ethnic adults by day, providing specific programmes of special interest each evening and to accurately reflect urban contemporary life and actively foster social in volvement, co-operation and harmony.
Former BRMB journalist Howard Bennett was in charge of the station's hourly news output, with the emphasis on Birmingham news.

 BRMB - History - Programme Schedules & Audio Clips - Radio Acocks Green
BRMB was the fourth of the IBA's ILR stations to go on the air, after LBC and Capital Radio in London and Radio Clyde in Glasgow.
BRMB today is not the 'all things to all people' type of radio that it used to be - an entertaining, communicating, community based radio station, and Birmingham, its population and the radio industry as a whole is much the worse off for that.
However, today BRMB FM continues to be an extremely popular music station, in fact it is still the most popular pop station in Birmingham - so a hearty congratulations to one and all for that, and all past achievements.

BRMB can stake a claim as being one of the first ILR stations outside of London to come on-air - BRMB started transmissions on 19th February 1974 as the fourth of the original 19 commercial stations to start in that decade.
BRMB spent some time practicing a split back in the 80s; using their AM 261 frequency to cover football or to cover bad weather conditions.

 Mercia FM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 97FM signal is by far the strongest, from the transmitter at Shilton, near the M6/M69 junction, and is for Coventry, and the much weaker signal 102.9FM for Leamington Spa.
In 1987, the station moved FM frequencies, along with most ILR stations at the time to 97.0 FM.
In 1989, along with BRMB in Birmingham, the AM frquency was split from the FM transmissions to create a new radio station called Xtra AM which played music from the 60's and 70's.

But, having said that, it would make sense if the Capital FM Network was to share more programmes.
I would be in favour of GWR re-branding this station, as it is a pale imitation of the fantastic station it used to be before it became "GWR-ised".
...But I was driving thru not so long ago, to find that both BRMB and Heart had (even if in a different style) actually returned to their former sung jingles that were still in use in the mid-90's, and had slipped away from a couple of years ago.

 Phil Holden - BRMB Radio's King Of Comedy - DJ & Presenter - BRMB FM
Phil's show has endeared itself to BRMB's audience with its blend of humour, self-parody, a predilection for some cracking music (he is an unashamed Led Zeppelin fan -"they are without doubt the best live band I've seen in my life," he says) - and the Wednesday evening pop quiz.
Phil Holden was on the mid-afternoon show on BRMB from 1985 and subsequently on the late show Monday to Friday.
After Phil left BRMB in the early 1990's I believe I heard him on BBC Local Radio in the Midlands and perhaps on BBC Nottingham or Leicester, however I don't think Phil is involved in radio any longer, and it is understood that at one time he was living in Worcestershire.

Since then, she has worked on several radio stations, including Viking FM, 2-Ten FM, the BRMB local radio station (96.4FM), and of course, on TV as the presenter of the Travel Update for Central.
When Harriet couldn't do the Travel Update, sometimes Jenny Harrison would stand in, and sometimes there was a young lady called Amy Jenkins, who they got from a freelance agency.
Since Harriet seems to be persona non grata at BRMB nowadays, I thought it would be ok to borrow it.
