From Tracey Crouch, Member of Parliament

Last week I tabled a parliamentary motion calling on Ofcom to release a Medium Wave frequency for Radio Caroline to use in the South East. The station is by far one of the most well known radio stations in the world, is a cornerstone of British radio history, has had 2 current MPs DJ on it, and unbelievably will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2014. However it has been denied an opportunity to secure a MW frequency so that listeners can enjoy the station in transit, rather than via the internet or through Sky TV. With unused frequencies on license to France and the North East, there is a perfect opportunity for Ofcom to release a platform so that loyal listeners, and many many have been in touch since I tabled the EDM, will be able to carry on enjoying Caroline's music through their radios.

More information about Radio Caroline's campaign can be found here

UPDATE: Richard Bacon MP just asked Ofcom during a Select Committee hearing if they will speak to the French broadcasting equivalent about releasing a frequency. They agreed to do so. Watch this space.

if intrested, mail me @ : alfred.zoer A straatklus.nl , Remove the A and fill in the @.

Still, maybe i thank JO and glow.. only due you guys this board the spam was taken away, and keeped people posting in this forum, Thanks guys...

(via http://www.alfalima.net/)

It would be a sad day if alfalima.net did close, but then it is fair enough if Alfred doesn't want to continue spending 80 euros a year to keep it running. Hopefully some solution can be found.

Merseywaves: Liverpool's very own pirate radio pioneers

By Martin Higgins:

What is more DIY and rebellious than pirate radio? Nothing. Well maybe a full scale military revolution, with live ammunition, CS gas and the like, but still, it’s up there.


Liverpool has a great history of underground radio, the most significant being Merseywaves which was live and unplugged from 1984-91 with Bert Williams at the helm.

The broadcast started after Williams’ parent radio station disagreed with his unorthodox musical choices and after ‘discussions’ had him quietly removed.

Williams took it upon himself to erect a new portable transmitter in the face of his former bosses and stick it to them like David did Goliath.

(Read full article at: http://www.purplerevolver.com/bulletin/the-method/121168-merseywaves-liverpools-very-own-pirate-radio-pioneers.html )

Comment at end of article says Bert now runs Merseyland Alternative Radio, recently heard on shortwave, via Central Radio.
