Prior to that, the station was branded as totallyradio and is the UK's longest-running internet radio station, launched in July 2000, It offered a global platform for non-mainstream and predominantly independent music.

On Friday 01 January 2021, totallyradio was rebranded as Slack City Radio and began broadcasting online and on DAB on the trial multiplex in Brighton.
