The non-profit, non-commercial station began broadcasting on a full-time basis on 27 March 2010 from studios and offices at East Parade in Rhyl and later moved to a temporary base at Ffrith Beach in Prestatyn. The station is now based at purpose-built studios in Wellington Road near Rhyl town centre.
