2011 changes

The Total Star network reverted to operating as a single station in 2011 as a result of changes being made to the network and stations. When the Bath licence came up for re-advertisement Ofcom awarded it to Celador, operator of Bristol-based The Breeze 107.2, and the Bath service took the name The Breeze in 2011.[3]

More Radio Ltd subsequently relaunched their three frequencies as More FM, and ceased sharing programming with the Cheltenham-based service, which continued to use the Total Star name under the ownership of Storm Radio.[4] More Radio Ltd itself was sold to Celador who re-branded the stations to The Breeze and Jack FM.
