Big Deal
In the UK and Holland it is in the miiddle of the night
UK 3-5
NL 4-6
So I wonder how many will listen.
I know much more interesting radio-projects during normal hours, nobody ever gives them the proper exposure.
Only if you are good in issuing press releases, then you get attention.

Ruud, we’re on winter time now, so the UK is on UTC and we’re on UTC+1
By the way, this wasn’t a press release, just something I saw on their website. I will be happy to publish any press releases you care to send me.
There are over 10 million people in the catchment area of Spectrum Radio. Many people have to work night shifts - I used to do that many years ago. My experience is that people listening to radio late at night are much more loyal to particular stations/presenters than those who listen in the daytime. I’m sure they will reach an audience larger than Big L will manage using 1395 in the other direction

Yes Andy, they will. And they could be on-air for a longer time as well…

Dear Andy, Please check out the Norderney site regularly.
This is run by the Stichting Norderney, and former offshore Radio Veronica staff.
This period they are celebrating that Veronica was founded and launched 50 years ago.
Last August they broadcasted special programmes during a month on Veronica 192 including the last week Veronica was on air, since this is 35 years ago. This was relayed on 1584 AM.
Nobody in the press picked this up, my feeling is that this was of more importance then the just 2 final Veronica hours on 558, which got much more attention.
