- The end of RTL's 208 Metre / 1440kHz AM service to the UK. Playout of the end of the 1992 closure documentary & national anthem and transmitter switch-off at 3am CET as heard on a transistor radio in Craigavon, Northern Ireland.
A whole generation of young people across a divided Europe found their love of music through Radio Luxembourg. You had to have been there to know how special it was.
This was from almost 26 years ago... I'm still crying...
Spent many hours with Radio Luxembourg the 17 months I was stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army. We depended on it for the latest pop hits from the U.S.A.
Thank you, I missed this broadcast. I often listened to the German RTL music shows (oldies sender) after Radio Luxembourg ceased until 2015.
170/5000
I have great memories. It accompanied me for many years and in the 70s I always knew the hit's before they were finally hit's in Germany
The reception never changed!
Seemed like an almost clandestine way to get pop music in the early evenings - the local commercial stations often had specialist music shows, ranging from rock to soul to classical music, the BBC local radio stations put out Radio 2, even Radio 1 - the BBC’s flagship music station, broadcast Radio 2, Radios 3 and Four’s evening schedules rarely differed from those in the daytime - where could we hear decent pop music in the early evenings, short of dragging out the Dansette and playing the record collection of whichever sibling was able to get decent pop music - your parents only having Jim Reeves and Perry Como and the most up-to-date music they had was something like Elvis Presley or Tommy Steele in an era where the latest hits were by the likes of The Osmonds, David Cassidy, David Bowie, David Essex, Slade and Sweet? Why, Radio Luxembourg, of course - didn’t help when the only radio the house boasted was in the control of parents who thought the BBC local radio station was the only station that existed on the planet, with all that fuddy-duddy music (when it did play music), not even in stereo, despite being on FM, the only time they did play up-to-date music was on request shows or when they relayed the Top 20 rundown on a Sunday evening - it was on both Radios 1 and 2, so you could pick it up on local radio as well - most of the daytime schedules were little more than regional versions of Woman’s Hour, only with fuddy-duddy music that they only played to allow the programme to get one guest out and another one in without making too much noise doing so or setting up landline links to “our Plymouth studio!”. Since when did Radio Cleveland have a studio in Plymouth? They really meant BBC Radio Devon! Or “our (place miles away) studio” - no - BBC Radio (insert other station’s name here) - although the local commercial stations did play the latest hits and were the only place (when they finally came on the air) where, if you had a decent stereo system and listened on FM - or, as it was called then, VHF - where you could hear all the latest hits (and occasional oldies - there’s only a finite amount of Top 40 material you can play - singles and album tracks) the way they are meant to be heard - in stereo! Even Radio 1 was largely restricted to medium wave, which doesn’t do justice to any kind of music, old, new or specialist - when Radio 3 was moved to the original frequency of BBC Radio 1, which, up until this year (2023) was the home of Absolute Radio, classical music sounded like it was being played through a washing machine - luckily, better reception could have been obtained by tuning to FM - with the addition of stereo!
Ever since Radio 1 stopped broadcasting on medium wave and even Absolute Radio, most BBC local radio stations and now, having become a local version of Greatest Hits Radio, the medium wave frequencies of many of the local stations which began in the 70s have been closed down permanently, what are those people that, for their own personal reasons, preferred the sound of medium wave to FM going to do now that their radios no longer work - especially if it only had medium wave on it? Even if it did have FM and it was a stereo radio? They would have to start getting used to listening to radio that sounds like they’re in the studio with them and not like Dial-A-Disc!
В 1980-1982 годах, во время службы в Советской Армии слушал эту радиостанцию на Средних волнах. Почти каждый день в 22-00 ловил эту станцию на маленьком карманном приëмнике, который, по уставу,иметь солдату было нельзя☺. В близи города Великого Новгорода на военном аэродроме Кречивицы.
Классное радио!
это невероятно, здесь, в Дании, вы не можете рассчитывать только на то, что вам понравится номер
@@trolden61 Дорогой друг,тем не менее я слушал это радио на территории СССР в 180-1982 годах.На частоте 1440 с 23.00 до 02.00 часов затем сигнал затухал к сожалению. Ещё хорошо слышно было радио Швеции по утрам с 06.00 до08.00.
Słuchałem tej rozgłośni w 1968 na falach srednich, po godzinie 18. Radyjko produkcji ZSRR nazywało sie Junost.
