Heart Solent is a local radio station owned and operated by Global Radio as part of the Heart network. It broadcasts to southern and western parts of Hampshire, West Sussex, East Dorset and Isle of Wight. The station launched on 30 July 2010 as a result of a merger between Heart Hampshire (formerly Ocean Sound) and Heart Dorset & New Forest (formerly 2CR). ==History== The regional station originally broadcast as two separate stations - Two Counties Radio (2CR) began broadcasting to East Dorset and West Hampshire in September 1980. Ocean Sound served South Hampshire, West Sussex and Isle of Wight from October 1986 onwards. At first, Ocean broadcast two distinct services for the east and west of its service area with a further service for the Winchester area launching in December 1987. The West service was relaunched as Power FM (later Capital South Coast) a year later while the north and east services (The Light FM and Ocean Sound) merged in 1992. Both 2CR and Ocean underwent various ownership changes until its current owners Global Radio rebranded the stations as Heart on 22 June 2009. On 21 June 2010, Global Radio announced it would merge both stations as part of plans to reduce the Heart network of stations from 33 to 16.〔(Global Radio to halve number of local Heart stations ), mediaguardian.co.uk, 21 June 2010 〕 The new station began broadcasting from Segensworth, near Whiteley on Friday 30 July 2010, leading to the closure of studios in Bournemouth.〔(Heart slims but strengthens ), RadioToday, 21 June 2010 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heart Solent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
