The launch was delayed to 25 May 2021, and again to August 2022 but the launch failed to take off due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the technical problems from engineers.
The station is owned by the radio broadcasting company Fairtalk Communications (Private) Limited which is the parent company of Skyz Metro FM and Breeze FM. Fairtalk is partly owned by the Zimbabwe National Army.
