It broadcasts from studios at the Majestic Business Park, Goulds Hill in Mallow (its headquarters, North Cork Studios and official postal address), Weir Street in Bandon (its West Cork Studio) and St. Patrick's Place in Cork City (the headquarters of sister station 96FM). C103 is operated as a dual franchise with 96FM by County Media Limited which is owned by UTV Radio, part of UTV Media plc. The station launched on 26 January 1990 (as County Sound 103FM) and was originally licensed for the north of County Cork. The franchise was subsequently expanded to cover the whole county. As a dual franchise, the station's sound broadcasting contract (and thus its broadcasting licence) is advertised together with that of 96FM and one company is required to operate the two stations, in a similar situation to that of Shannonside FM and Northern Sound Radio in the north-west of Ireland. Most of the management are based at Broadcasting House in the city and are in charge of both stations. The only senior position which is separate for each station is that of the head of music. In 2008 as part of a refresh of the station's sound, it was re-branded as C103, having previously traded as Cork's 103FM, 103FM County Sound, and County Sound 103FM. The refresh included a new jingle package from Jones TM, a reworked schedule which saw an end to networked programmes broadcast on both C103 and 96FM and a new music format, consisting mainly of music from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, in addition to a limited amount of more recent chart hits.
