When GCap Media was taken over by Global Radio in 2008, it announced plans to dissolve the 41-station One Network, with one station ( Power FM) becoming part of the Galaxy network, four stations ( BRMB, Beacon Radio, Mercia FM and Wyvern FM) forming a West Midlands regional network, seven stations joining Capital FM to form The Hit Music Network and the remaining 29 stations forming the Heart Network. Chrysalis' radio holdings were sold to Global Radio in 2007. Century 106 in the East Midlands became the third station of the Heart network in 2005 after GCap Media sold Century. In 1996 the Heart programming format saw the "soft AC" music replaced with a generally more neutral rock "n" roll playlist. This included live broadcasts of WPLJ from New York City. Heart 106.2 began test transmissions in London in August 1995, prior to the station launch on 5 September. Reflecting this, its early slogan was 100.7 degrees cooler! Its original format of " soft adult contemporary" music included artists such as Lionel Richie and Tina Turner. The first song to be played on 100.7 Heart FM was Something Got Me Started by Simply Red. Heart began broadcasting in the West Midlands on 6 September 1994 as 100.7 Heart FM, becoming the UK's third Independent Regional Radio station, five days after Century Radio in North East England, and Jazz FM North West. The broadcaster offers morning shows from Monday to Saturday with Neil 'Roberto' Williams on weekdays between 6am and 10am, and on Saturday from 8am to 12pm.Further information: Timeline of the Heart Radio Network Launch Digital solutions had revolutionized the music industry, and gave more freedom to the musicians who could express their artistic passion more freely. The 80’s in the musical world was the step, when the use of synthesisers became common, and thus the effects, and earlier unimaginable sounds and tunes became inseparable parts of the music. Thus the station broadcasts not just the 80’s songs, but the extended whole life-feeling what permeated the eighties' musical world. Because there were many songs in the late 70’s which became popular hits then, and kept their popularity also in the 80’s, so essentially affected the 80s musical era. The radio's playlist does not select only from the 80’s, but from the late 70’s too. Heart 80s Radio is in the ownership of Global Media & Entertainment Ltd.
