New Radio Informer Site/Address

The radio informer unveils it new site using the utilities site that the radio informer had all it links and info on. Now that has been combined with the news that you would see on the original radio informer site.It gives better navigation with items on seperate pages. It is a long web address to the site which is http://www.freewebs.com/theradioinformerutilities
so a shorter url is made for you http://shortlink.co.uk/p90 this will direct you to the new radio informer site.Best to put the link in your favourites/bookmarks.The old site http://theradioinformer.blogspot.com/ will still be up might not be updated as much but will still have archive news items on it.
Thanks.

The Dutch government has invited parties interested in using one of the remaining unallocated regional FM and mediumwave frequencies in the Netherlands to register their proposals by 30 October. The plan is to use the same system of comparative applications that was used for the national licences in 2003. It is intended to begin the licensing process before the end of 2007.

There are 12 FM and four mediumwave frequencies available. The mediumwave details are:

Heinenoord 828 kHz 20 kW directional (day)/5 kW ND (night)

Readers able to receive the BBC’s regional TV services on satellite may be interested to know that the theme of this evening’s Inside Out programme from Birmingham (1830-1900 UTC) on BBC1 West Midlands is pirate radio. Reporter Satnam Rana follows Ofcom officer Mike Bothma as he tours Birmingham’s streets, tracking down the illegal broadcasts that he says can interfere with emergency calls and put lives at risk unnecessarily.
Satnam catches up with two pirate broadcasters to find out how they get their illegal broadcasts onto the airwaves and what drives them to do so.

The UK commercial broadcaster Big L, which uses a mediumwave transmitter in the Netherlands on 1395 kHz, has decided to introduce a programme in Dutch, which will be aired at on Mon-Fri at 0300-0400 UTC in the morning, when most Dutch people are still asleep. It appears that the programme is aimed at Dutch-speaking truckers in and around the Netherlands. According to the website mediumwave.info:
“Eric van Willegen told me that Big L 1395 AM will launch a new programme starting Monday the 1st of October 2007. The name of the programme is “Big L Goes Dutch”. It’s a mix of oldies, truckin’ songs and a few Dutch songs.”
At the time of posting this item, there is no mention of the programme on the Big L website, though it has been heavily promoted on air over the past few days.

Radio Six International to broadcast live from ship on Saturday

On Saturday, 22 September Scotland’s only international radio service, Radio Six International, will attempt its most complicated – and riskiest outside broadcast. The LV18 is a former lightship which – under the care of the Pharos Trust – was first used for radio, with an added radio mast to support the mediumwave transmitting aerial, in 1999 and since then has played host to a variety of UK-licensed re-creations of former pirate stations, including Radio Northsea International, Radio Caroline, and Radio Mi Amigo, as well as recent broadcasts from Pirate BBC Essex.

Radio Six International will broadcast its weekly Saturday Sounds programme live from the ship on Saturday, with special features including an interview with Tony O’Neill from the Pharos trust, and an episode of The Barnacles, a comedy feature first created when the ship was being used for RNI.

The programme [0700-0800 UTC] will be broadcast live on 9290 kHz shortwave to Europe, the Near and Far East and Pacific regions, 945 kHz mediumwave to the Baltic states, 88.5 MHz FM Stereo for Tawa and Redwood in New Zealand, 100.5 MHz Digital in Riga, Latvia, and around the world online at www.radiosix.com.
