in november 2008, tindle radio group sold dream 107.2 to town & country broadcasting, who sought and received permission to largely absorb the winchester service into their existing radio hampshire service at southampton. the winchester studios were closed and the 107.2 fm winchester frequency switched to sharing content with southampton's service 20 hours a day. a separate local daily breakfast programme for the winchester licence area was maintained, though this was broadcast from the southampton base.
