The station's new slogan is "The Greatest Hits For Suffolk", the playout is identical to sister stations Dream 100, North Norfolk Radio, Radio Norwich 99.9 and The Beach with the exception of Jingles, Adverts and local news and travel. All five radio stations are output from a single system at Radio Norwich 99.9's headquarters.
On 12 June 2018 Town 102's licence was not renewed when, for the first time since its inception, Ofcom, did not award a re-advertised licence to the incumbent licensee.[1] Consequently, Ipswich 102 replaced Town 102 on 19 October 2018.[2]
On 1 September 2020, Town 102 along with it’s sister stations will be rebranded to Greatest Hits Radio along with a regional Drivetime show.[3]
