Our Stereo transmitter was situated at Fort Widley and could be heard on 95.0 Mhz.  Our AM transmitter was based at Farlington Marshes and could be heard on 257 M, which originally was 1169kHz, but later changed to 1170 kHz.

In 1985, the Independent Broadcasting Authority failed to renew the station’s licence and it ceased broadcasting in June 1986, despite a local campaign to save it. Fratton Road in Portsmouth was jammed solid with traffic, drivers blaring their horns in tribute as the airwaves fell silent for the last time.  On 28th June as the Guildhall Clock chimed Midday, Radio Victory ceased to broadcast. The closing words came from Chris Carnegy,  “…for 10 years, 257 days this has been Radio Victory”.  Victory was the first ILR station to lose its franchise.

The 2nd RSL as Victory FM came from the corner of Kingston Crescent in North End, it was situated in the old Bradford and Bingley building.  We broadcasted for 28 days in the lead up to Christmas 1994 from 21st November –18th December on 105.4 Mhz.

On Tuesday 14th November 1995 at 7pm, Radio Victory launched on 95.6 Mhz Cable Radio and channel 42 of the channel listing guide on Nynex TV from Media House Twyford Avenue.  As in 1975, the 1st voice to be heard was CJ Munroe.  Unlike the RSL’s this was a full time service broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

1997 saw Portsmouth hold the Special Olympics, over 2,000 athletes were able to compete. It also saw us broadcast our 5th RSL and 2nd as Radio Victory from Media House, Twyford Avenue.

In this year, having won a full time FM license we launched as Radio Victory 107.4, shortly after the launch the station was bought by TLRC (The Local Radio Company).

On April 1st 2022, Victory launched its online service which had been going since 2021 onto DAB+ in Portsmouth.  The Solent Wireless multiplex had been broadcasting for over 5 years and Victory became an OFCOM licensed station, adding to the choice of stations.  Gary Champion got things underway from 7am.
