Hope 103.2 relocated from Five Dock to its current studios in Seven Hills (the former home of WSFM and Mix 106.5) and was renamed FM103.2 in 2002, with the tag-line The Heart of Sydney. The station was re-named Heart 103.2 in December 2007, but this was challenged legally by Macquarie Southern Cross Media who were using the name Heart. It was decided to rename the station as Sydney's 1032 for 2008. On Monday, December 15, 2008 the station was renamed on Midnight (12 am) on the December 15 2008 as Hope 1032. Listeners offered their suggestions for a new name for the station and Hope was judged the best and most popular.
