The programme was axed on Friday 15 May 2009 as part of severe cutbacks to programming output and staffing levels at the station.[1]
The programme's editor was Vanessa Williams.
After the programme ended, for a short while, the first two hours (6am to 8am) was used to broadcast live footage of the area's traffic cameras accompanied by a simulcast of Real Radio North West, and when the live footage from the traffic cameras ceased a holding slide was shown during the Real Radio simulcasts.
