The radio station relocated from Five Dock to its current studios in Seven Hills (the former home of WSFM & Mix 106.5) and was renamed ''FM103.2'' in 2002, with the tag-line ''The Heart of Sydney''. The station was renamed Heart 103.2 in December 2007, but this was challenged legally by Macquarie Regional Radioworks who held a generic right to the name Heart. It was decided to use "Sydney's 1032" as the interim on-air identifier for 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hope 103.2's story )〕 On Monday, 15 December 2008 at Midnight the station was renamed as Hope 103.2. Listeners offered their suggestions for a new name for the station and Hope was judged the best and most popular.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hope 103.2's story )〕 ==Programming== The format of Hope 103.2 is described as "Contemporary Christian Radio", which is Christian-infused mainstream light contemporary radio. The program format is designed to reach out to the wider community as well as the Christian community.
