Launch

Manchester United launched the station in March 1994.[2][1] Former Piccadilly Radio presenter Matt Proctor was the creator and presenter of the Match Day show and the station's output would often be simulcast on the PA system inside Old Trafford during the early part of the afternoon or evening.

Broadcasting hours

The station was a Low Power AM station only available when Manchester United played a home game at Old Trafford, generally broadcasting from around three hours before kick-off until around two hours after the final whistle.[3] As an LPAM station broadcasting with a Restricted Service Licence, it could only be received within a limited distance from the stadium – approximately a 50-mile radius.

End of station

After 418 games, Manchester United quietly retired the station after the 2007-08 season when they announced that they had agreed a deal with local radio station Key 103.[1]
