London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

What can I say?An eventful weekend.Maybe not as busy as expected,but still plenty of things going on.The Dutch “Powerstations “ dominated at the weekend,as they always do,but there was much more to listen to.
Some good UK signals/Programmes too.
“Tower/Veroniqueâ€

Hi Robbie,

Thanks for replying.That is what a forum like this is all about.
Firstly,can I say that I have absolutely no problem with your right to broadcast what you like.This is FREE RADIO,but eveyone is entitled to an opinion.
Second,your signals are superb.I have heard over modulation long ago,but you have fixed that now.Also you were attacked for your splattering & you fixed that too,well done!
Also we all know that you come on the air the last Sunday of the month,so operators cannot complain that Tower has interfered with them,they should know better.
So all is well!It's just that I don't like your programmes!

I must admit that I have heard moments in earlier programmes when you sounded slick & professional.And your jingles are good too.

BUT,the music you play & the drunken presenters must have a limited audience.Check your SMS'S & e-mails............all from The Nederlands,North Belgium & Germany.................the rest are from DX'ers,not really interested in your programme.
Please don't start a Nederlands V UK thing,that is stupid.I love many Dutch stations,I understand the patriotic feeling towards Schlage & Dutch Pirate Songs,but you must see that too much of this music just alienates half your audience.
In my humble opinion there are two good solutions;

1.Play music that other Europeans can enjoy.This does not mean not playing any Dutch music,just introduce a broader spectrum.What is the point of broadcasting on SW just for The Nederlands?And go easy on the beers!!

2.Switch to MW.With the power you have you can easily cover the area that your listeners live in.

Robbie,there is nothing personel in this.I just want better free radio,I am sure you are a true Pirate,I just think things could be better.
