102 Touch FM is an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting to the town of Stratford-upon-Avon and much of the counties of Warwickshire, Worcestershire, The Cotswolds and the surrounding area in the south of the English Midlands.
The station, which launched in 1996 as FM102 The Bear and was later known as The Bear 102, was taken over by Cumbria-based CN Group in 2001 and relaunched, along with Kix 96 in Coventry, as Touch FM on January 16, 2006. The Midlands stations are now known as Touch FM.

In June 2009, the Touch Radio Network of stations (together with Rugby FM) were purchased from CN Group by Quidem Midlands Limited. 102 Touch Radio was then re-branded to 102 Touch FM.
In March 2011, Touch FM and Quidem were nominated for two Sony Radio Academy Awards - "The First Break Show" in the Best Specialist Music programme category and the "Coventry Blitz Special" in the Best News Special category [2].
