==History== The station began broadcasting on 31 December 1970. It is named after the [[Solent]], the area of sea between [[Southampton]], [[Portsmouth]] and the [[Isle of Wight]]. In 1996, Radio Solent expanded its coverage into [[West Dorset]] and South Dorset by taking over neighbouring [[BBC Dorset FM]], which was formerly an opt-out of [[BBC Radio Devon]]. In 2013, a new programme specifically for [[Dorset]] listeners on 103.8 [[FM broadcasting|FM]] was launched under the name ''Breakfast in Dorset'', after campaigns for a more locally focused service. The programme is presented by Steve Harris from a studio complex in [[Dorchester, Dorset|Dorchester]] and also broadcasts county-wide on [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]].
