 station, which broadcast across London on 94FM. It attracted a huge following before finally acquiring a legitimate licence in 1990 - it was thought to have commanded in the region of 500,000 listeners even as a pirate station. It was first set up by Gordon Mac (later its Managing Director) and his friends; Tosca, Pyers Easton and George Power. Gordon Mac approached a successful London club promoter, Guy Wingate, to discuss ways of improving Kiss' profile and Wingate then launched the hugely successful Kiss nights at the Wag Club (which included the first ever Acid House party, an idea put forward by Kiss DJs Colin Faver and Danny Rampling

). These nights gave the station a credibility boost and Wingate joined the Kiss team, followed shortly thereafter by Lindsay Wesker.

Kiss was 'owned' by shareholders that included many of the DJs themselves, including Tim Westwood

 and others. Together with Mac, Wesker and Wingate they took the station forward through a combination of grim determination and clever marketing and in 1988, the Department of Trade And Industry advertised the first new radio licence in London for many years. Kiss pitched hard but despite colossal public support, the licence was awarded to Jazz FM

 (now Smooth Radio). In the weekend that followed, the Kiss team roamed London building up an enormous petition that was delivered on the Monday morning to then Home Secretary, Douglas Hurd.

A short time thereafter, new licences were advertised and this time Kiss, and its loyal army of listeners, were rewarded.

On September 1, 1990 Kiss relaunched as a legal station, its studio and offices located on the Holloway Road, and was supported financially by EMAP

1999 rebranding and criticism


Whilst EMAP took full control of Kiss 100 as early as 1992, a rebranding of Kiss 100 and the Kiss brand started to take place during 1998, resulting in a new logo being adopted in 1999. In order to bring Kiss 100 into line with EMAP's other radio operations, Mark Story (previously of Magic 105.4) was installed in January 1999 as the new Director of Music Programming. This lead to criticism from both former presenters and listeners alike, concerned that Kiss 100 was losing its musical direction. At the same time, the Kiss studios and offices was moved from its original roots to EMAP's main premises in Central London.

One of Kiss 100's former legendary DJs, Steve Jackson, was sacked in December 1998, and this resulted in a high profile court case . At the same time, a number of other founding DJs decided to quit the station in protest at the changes being implemented , whilst others were lured away by the increasingly dance-oriented BBC Radio 1

. Many listeners equate Gordon Mac's final show on the 28th March 1998 and subsequent departure from the station, as the spiritual end of the original Kiss.
