I just seen this now where someone said station fm in the early 90s, station fm is still the best black community station now ?should be dj kiethly in charge of 107.1 in North London and lighting with the south London licence? Should make capital extra give thier licence back on Monday. That's what I think should have happened with the legal license? not going to mention the normal stuff tonight because I already posted my best and worst before?

Oh dear seriously? New mixes or not you can't bring a station called Live FM which hasn't been live for the past 5 years into the equation. Hilarious

LOL! Live fm by no means Londons no.1! I should of been a bit clearer like B2B's signal! The 'Present' section are pretty much the only pirates I can currently pick up... So live get the best pirate of the week award from me!! Until I get sick of listening to the same mixes that is ;-)

I think I understand you now but at the moment live is nowhere near as much power now as it was last year in fact I can't even pick it up now or the excellent B2B fm I can only hear it online

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.... it's JUST ABOUT still a free country!.... but B2B "excellent" ??? - nicked the entire idea and indeed jingles from another far superior station and when they had a signal that went further than the current 6 miles the audio sounded like it was coming down a baked bean tin with string linking it to the studio... but hey.... that's just MY opinion

I'm sure it's okay to say the station you mean? It wouldn't be solar radio by any chance would it? I like solar radio but it has to many adverts? Where as b2b only has advertising once an hour?

London = Radio Veronica 102 (or Veronica Supergold) for golden oldies and general good feeling pirate radio and I must say Centreforce for the rave side and Kiss when it was darting about between 94FM and I think 95.3 at one time. And in Southend that 88.3 station Premier, always quality signal, sound and presenters when I went down that way.

There is a Veronica programme to listen to right at the bottom.

http://websiterni.zapto.org/Garry/Veronicasupergold.htm

Centreforce recorded in Southend apparently, getting out nicely.



Extended Centreforce recording... anyone know tune at 20:44 aciddy house kind of tune :tup I would have been driving about in my Marina Ital :?

Brilliant memerys it's incredible how much radio in London change in London in the 1980s this is less than 4 years after the 1985 horizon and solar radio close down in the hope that they would get a licence and they were well spoken legal sounding djs

Shame they were only on until 1990? Then we had the short lived 88.4 centre force come back in 2007,8

Think for South London, for all genre's it has to be Flex, from the 103.6 days until now on 99.7.

The Raw Flex days weren't that great, and when they moved northwest London. But since it came back with the original faces, its been very solid in South London.
