Newbury Sound (formerly Kick FM) is an Independent Local Radio that broadcasts from Bone Lane, Newbury, and covers West Berkshire.
The station began broadcasting full-time in 2000, although several restricted service licence broadcasts were run beforehand under the 'Kick FM' name. Another station, NBC FM, run by Bruno Brookes and Keith Chegwin, made a rival application to the Radio Authority to become a full-time station in West Berkshire.
The full time service was launched by Ian Downs (Downsy) who left in 2002 and returned to the station seven years later.
Kick FM was brought by Tindle Radio in 2006, but was then sold in August 2009 to Andover Sound. The station was rebranded as Newbury Sound at 7am on Monday 5th October 2009.
