Station rebrands
In September 2019, Quidem announced it had entered a brand licensing agreement with Global, citing financial losses.[3] Two months later, following permission from regulator, Ofcom to change the station's format,[4] it was confirmed that Quidem's stations would merge and launch as Capital Mid-Counties on 2 December 2019.[5]
The Touch FM stations, Rugby FM and Banbury Sound ceased broadcasting at 7pm on Friday 29 November 2019.
