History
Juice was founded as Surf 107 in June 1997, when the Radio Authority licensed Brighton and Hove Radio Ltd to broadcast on a commercial basis to the Brighton and Hove area. Writer and broadcaster Simon Fanshawe was the director of the company, and various local companies held shares in it. The first transmission was on 27 March 1998, and a year later the station was recognised with a Sony Award.
