Dreamtime Radio was first conceived in 2009 and had a successful temporary licensed run in 2010 which led to the award of a five year licence in 2012, original broadcasting hours were 10am - 4pm, Wednesdays - Fridays. The shows were live for the most part but some were pre-recorded often to facilitate large speech programmes and for DJs who find live broadcasts difficult.

There are daily news bulletins which are pre-recorded each morning and played on the hour throughout the day.
