The Storm was a digital-only, modern rock music radio station broadcasting in parts of Central and Southern UK, and owned by GCap Media. It played music from the likes of Green Day, The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines, Garbage and Franz Ferdinand.
In November 2005, as part of a review of GCap Media services, it was decided that The Storm was to be replaced with Xfm on most digital radio multiplexes. This move occurred on January 23rd, 2006. Chill replaced The Storm on digital TV.
The Storm closed down on January 20th, 2006 at 2305 GMT. The last track played by presenter Neil Grayson was Green Day; Good Riddance (Time of your Life).
An automated service (including a Voice Synthesised 'DJ') playing the same music format current remains only in London.
