Radio Caroline returns to mediumwave in Latvia
credit: http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork September 6th, 2006, 13:32 UTC by Andy UK-based satellite/Internet station Radio Caroline announces on its website that “from Thursday, 7th September listeners living in Latvia and its surrounding area will once again be able to tune to Caroline on mediumwave, when each Thursday evening between 9pm and midnight Rob Leighton’s Imagination programmes are relayed through the transmission facilities of Radio Nord. Radio Nord broadcasts to Latvia’s capital city Riga, and boasts an audience of 100,000.” The frequency is 945 kHz. We presume the time mentioned is UK time, so that would be 2000-2300 UTC. |

Radio 747 to be replaced by Radio 5 from 4 September
Credit: www.blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork Dutch public broadcaster Radio 747 will disappear from 4 September, to be replaced by Radio 5. But although it is reverting to its old name, everything else will be completely different. The network, which will operate on a smaller budget than its predecessor, nevertheless hopes to increase its market share from the present 1% to as much as 4% eventually. The target group of the new Radio 5 is clear - the over 55’s who still feel young at heart. It will really be two stations in one - on weekdays between 7 am and 6 pm (0500-1600 UTC) the station will offer news, information and light music. In the evenings, the programming will be ‘reflective’. At weekends, the various religious programmes popular with the target group will continue to be aired at the same times as at present. |
