The station was then known as Star 107.7 before changing to Star Radio in North Somerset.[citation needed]
In November 2009, Star Radio (North Somerset) was sold by UKRD and renamed Nova Radio on 26 September 2010. At midnight on 29 March 2013, the station was re-launched as The Breeze following a takeover by Celador Radio.[2]
