These stations recently began scheduling music locally after five years of following a centralised playlist. Some Stations also share show formats such as Floorfillers, Feel Good Friday Night and some also share in demand which has it's own website at www.indemand.fm

Until September 2005 they also took Friday Night Kiss Hosted by former Kiss 100 Breakfast Presenter Bam Bam.

The big city logo (known internally as the 'splash') was rolled out to all stations in late 1999, and is also visible on The Hits TV.
