History
The station was founded in May 2003. The original presenting team at the time of launch included Dave Benson Philips.
In April 2008, the station became part of Media Sound Holdings, after merging with neighbouring radio station Mid Sussex-based Bright FM. In June 2009, the group added Arrow FM in Hastings and Sovereign FM in Eastbourne to their portfolio from TLRC.
In November 2010, Ofcom approved a request to share programming across all four stations, stating the changes would not substantially alter the character of the service.
Programming
All programming on the station is produced locally from Splash FM's Worthing studios and shared with Arrow FM, Bright FM and Sovereign FM. The station's presenters include Chris Birks and Hayley Hammond (weekday breakfast), Anna Bingham (weekday daytime) and Simon Osborne (weekday drivetime).
Local news airs every hour from 6am to 6pm on weekdays and from 8am to 12pm on Saturdays with headlines on the half-hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime shows. National news bulletins from Sky News Radio are carried hourly at all other times.
