Kool FM 94.6

[ddraig]

<snip> There is nothing more frustrating than finding a pirate you want to listen to but not being able to tune into because some other FM stations bandwidth is over lapping with it

innit! when i was moving around SE london in the 90's one of my requirements for a property was that it could get Kool
i am not joking

The website http://scanner.irational.org/ lets you listen to pirates on the internet - someone's basically set up a radio in London and you can tune it and listen to the output.

ta for that!!

I'm sure lots of them will be back soon. I've heard through my contacts in community media that the recent situation in brum with the alleged rape of the young girl, a story broadcast by a pirate radio station, has been used for ofcom to get support for this kind of action.

Might even be able to find a link

I've been involved in producing programmes for my local radio station and at meeintgs they were always complaining about the signal being disrupted ny itch fm and yk2. I could understand why they were annoyed but tbh itch and yk2 were, for me anyway, much more entertaining than most of the stuff on our local rado station.

Talking of nostalgia for Pirates...

Anyone remember GirlsFM? Classy house choonage for the drive home on a Saturday/Sunday morning and you could actually hear the music as opposed to the shout outs...

Kenny Hawkes - yay!

I remember Girls FM - could never quite bring myself to listen to such a ridiculously monikered station though

 

[Callie]

I have those 'things' what ever you call them etched on my brain due to listening to tapes of girls fm over and over...my brain even puts on the american (?) accent they were done in

eta - idents! thats what the 'things' are

[Callie]

Hmm well kool are broadcasting (not live)this morning, lovely are clear

[blossie33]

I wondered why I couldn't get any pirate stations since the weekend - been searching up and down the dial and virtually nothing going
Hope they are back in action soon.

 

[Callie]

Try again now and this weekend - There was one at around 91.8 playing old skool and kool 94.6 and i didnt have time to search any further. Two isnt bad for a friday morning imo

their previous webdesigner had health problems that forced him to abdicate, they've had problems getting the new one sorted but it all looks like it's ready to get up and running again - i used to love listening to kool

 

[Mech]

i heard kool fm origin & rude fm were all back on this weekend

 

[dynamicbaddog]

I've got Passion FM on at the moment , it's the only pirate station I ever really listen to. (apart from something called Flashback FM because I had a mate who used to DJ on it, not sure if that one is still going now though!)

 

[oldskoolunity]

Unity 88.4

I lurved unity I used to listen every sunday (saturday was usually more housey housey), I still have a few tapes knocking about.

Do you think you could mp3 these and post them on the net, would love to here these again. Used to have tapes and tapes of this (The sunday Show mainly) But have got lost over the years If not can we come to some arrangment to copy the tapes. I am going thtough a major nostalgia phase at the moment

Cheers
