The Radio Informer- It's About Radio

Not sure what this is ? nah no one does.

Quote from their website

"( or maybe Amsterdam 171 ? )The New 2 Million Watt Pop Music Station for London!Set to provide a stronger signal than BBC Radio 4 Long Wavein London, UK from January 1st 2002."

Here is another quote

"Here's a transcript of an article about the 171 Long Wave station from The Radio Listener's Guide 2000 Editionhttp://www.radioguide.demon.co.uk/Delta 171 is a proposed Dutch-based long wave station. Although licensed by the Dutch authorities in 1997, it could not get planning permission to erect an aerial mast on land due to objections from environmentalist groups. However, during 1999, an alternative plan to base it's transmission facilities on an artificially built platform based at sea (12 miles off the Zeeland caost of Holland) was approved by the Dutch Parliament and, inspite of further objections from environmentalists the project has now got the green light and is going ahead.The station will broadcast with 2 Mega Watts of power and will be aimed at a UK audience, although it willl be audible throughout North West Europe. It is thought that the speech element of the programming will come from studios in London, sent to the studios in Amsterdam for mixing with the music, before going through a link to the transmission base at sea.The format of Delta hasn't been officially announced, although rumours suggest it could be "Contemporary Hit Radio". The project is thought to have major financial backing."

The last thing i heard on this was it was to be called the lounge 171.

But my radio on 171 seems to hiss and nothing more.

Oh well maybe the 171 should be called 171 ways of not getting on air.
