In July 2015, Bauer submitted a formal request to OFCOM to swap City Talk's service with that of Radio City 2. The company proposed reformating City Talk as a rock music station incorporating local news and sports coverage on Radio City 2's current AM frequency of 1548 AM. The request, which also removes requirements for all-speech shows at peak times and a late night phone-in, was approved three months later.
The switchover took place on Monday 7 December 2015.
