Pirates grounded as pilots tune in to wicked tunes over Birmingham

CREDIT: www.theguardian.co.uk

Laura Smith
Tuesday May 3, 2005
The Guardian

Pilots coming in to land over Birmingham have been greeted with an unexpected sound over their headphones: garage music.
The dance music, which has a loud, thumping and repetitive bassline, threatened to drown out vital instructions from air traffic controllers as passenger jets made their descent into Birmingham international airport.

Officers from the communications watchdog, Ofcom, along with West Midlands police, shut down the musical distraction after tracing it to a pirate radio station transmitter atop a city centre tower block.

The "cobbled together" transmitter and aerials, which broadcast over two frequencies, were seized in a raid on a flat in the Highgate area on Wednesday. It is thought that the DJ and the pirate station's studio, which is believed to operate nearby, have yet to be found.
An Ofcom spokesman said it had launched the raid after receiving complaints from pilots. "This is not just some guys having a bit of fun and trying to get their break in radio," he said. "This has the potential to cause massive problems for essential services."

But a spokeswoman for the National Air Traffic Services stressed the music had not posed a threat to passenger safety.

"These were short bursts of interference which did not upset our operations or instructions to pilots," she said.

"It did not threaten safety because we have got safety procedures in place and we can switch to other frequencies if we have to. We did not need to in this case."

The plane crews whose flightpaths took them over Birmingham were warned of the specific locations where there was a risk of interference.

The Ofcom spokesman said inspectors had used directional receivers to locate the transmitter. "There was not a safety issue in this case although we take these situations seriously," he said.

Birmingham is not the only airport to have been affected by interference from pirate radio stations. Three years ago, the pilot of a passenger jet coming in to land at Heathrow was forced to switch to a back-up frequency when instructions from ground control were drowned out by dance and garage music from a transmitter in south London.

The station disrupted air traffic control for more than six hours until an enforcement team shut it down. Pilots from City airport in east London have also complained of music in their headphones.

Talking radio makes tuning even easier

Talking radio makes tuning even easier
press release
ref: 228

DAB digital radio aims to simplify radio tuning, for example letting you tune by station name rather than frequency. Now a manufacturer has gone one step further with the introduction of a radio that 'speaks' the station name, the time and more…

Manufacturer PURE Digital has just announced the launch of the SONUS-1XT, which will be arriving in stores now.

Similar in style terms to the best selling Evoke-1, the SONUS makes digital radio even more accessible with its voice feedback technology. As you scroll through the available stations, the radio will speak the name of each one, so you can be sure of what you’re tuning to without even glancing at the display. And with comprehensive alarm and clock features, the SONUS can also speak the current time (which automatically gets adjusted and updated) and confirm whether or not you’ve set any alarms.

Another useful feature is the 'Volume Equalisation Technology'. Developed because there can be a difference in volume from one radio station to another, the SONUS automatically subtly adjusts the volume to ensure that you won’t need to keep reaching for the volume control.

The SONUS will be on sale at around £119, and we’re told that it won’t be long before you can choose the voice that speaks to you!
Find out more about it at www.pure-digital.com

Dutch market leader Radio 538 reportedly up for sale

Dutch market leader Radio 538 reportedly up for sale
Radio 538, the market leading Dutch radio station, is up for sale, according to a report in Dutch trade magazine Broadcast. John de Mol's Talpa Radio, whose two current radio stations Noordzee 100.7 FM and Radio 10 Gold have a combined market share less than that of Radio 538, has denied rumours circulating here in Hilversum that it has already agreed to buy Radio 538, saying only that "everyone is talking to everyone" at the moment. Should Talpa buy Radio 538, it would have to sell one of its two existing stations as no single company is allowed to have more than two national licences.

Radio 538 is currently co-owned by former Radio Veronica DJ Lex Harding, and the American company Advent International. Various companies in France and the US are reported to be interested in the station, whose value is estimated at 150 million euro. It's one of only three Dutch commercial stations that actually make a profit, the others being Sky Radio and BNR Nieuwsradio.
