It went on-air in May 2005 with team members Matt Deegan, Gregory Watson, John Hirst and Jenny Nelson from GCap Media, Vici Woolgar and Chris Skala from Hit Entertainment and advisors Susan Stranks and David Kingsley.
Changes to Platforms
Fun Radio was initially launched on DAB digital radio in London and some areas of the South East alongisde being broadcast on digital television. In January 2008, the line ups of a number of local digital multiplexes changed, with Fun Radio being removed as a service from those outside of London. In summer 2009, FunKids launched temporarily on the national Digital One multiplex from June 27 until October 3,[2] thus everyone in the United Kingdom was able to listen via DAB.

On December 9th 2008 Folder Media renamed Fun Radio as Fun Kids and relaunched its web presence.
