First Launched 1992 – Revamped in July 2018
Chocolate Radio founder Roger Brookes, first launched the radio station in 1992 as a soul station. the idea was inspired by the likes of Invicta, JFM & Horizon Radio from the 80’s. Roger worked on TKO which was owned by Louie St Clare, as Roger B, the Mastermix DJ Presenter.
Then Roger became a Co-founder of Touch FM with the continental wine bar owner which ran for some time before closing down late 90’s. Roger then worked on Soul FM with Pete Simmons, which was owned by Lenny and his team in east London.
Chocolate Radio did not make it passed its testing, due to changes in the radio industry. The station then got shelved for a while before returning in 2008 as test transmissions before going live in 2010. Since then it has been a R&D program for Roger.
The station is now developing into a global internet radio station, offering Soul, Jazz-Funk, R&B, Reggae & Dance music to a multi-language listeners across the globe. Chocolate Radio is technology and innovation driven and breaking new barriers across the world with audience numbers growing daily.
