[edit] History
Spirit FM is West Sussex's Local Radio Station, it was previously only available in the South West of the County but it became a county wide station when a new transmitter was turned on near Midhurst.
Spirit FM began broadcasting in April 1996 as an independent radio station after a long fight for a "truly local Radio Station for West Sussex". Stephen Oates was the managing director for Spirit FM in the beginning.
The station became well known and well listened to in the years to follow. In 2004 the station was acquired by The Local Radio Company.
Spirit FM remains the most popular station in West Sussex and is well respected today. It still broadcasts from Dukes Court in Chichester, the place it has been since it's lauch more than 10 years ago.
