I remember hearing Rude FM back in 1996 on 104.3MHz whilst I was in London meeting relatives. I very much like their selection of drum & bass music. Superb station! :tup I still listen to them online up here in Glasgow, Scotland. Thanks to the internet of course. :D

Maybe their 886 relay is further west or just managed to find a decent TX site for it, which is getting harder and harder to do these days especially in Rude's area. :whistle

It must be because when I joined the M25 with the M1 I could only get a very weak 88.2 and certainly can't get it in Slough/Windsor even on high ground hence I had never heard rude even in the old days

The main problem with 88.2 deep out to the west is the BBC Radio 2 TX from Guildford on 88.1 (3kW)

I know what you mean but it's the same with 90.4 with bbc radio 3 on 90.3 and 92.6 with radio 4 being on 92.5 from Guilford and I was able to pick up stations on 90.4 and 92.6 but not 88.2 and frequency with the bbc would be exactly the same

I think the reason why you had those other 2 stations was because they are closer to your area.

That must be it and Saturday was the first time I ever heard rude on fm as I can't get 88.2 but it's always been easier to find stations near radio 4 is because it's easier to hear the pirates music over speach like radio 4 compared to often noisey music on radio 2

Can't be long before they go for the hat trick and start hitting London with the 104.3 as well 😁 Anyone remember the Raw frequency before they turned into Rude?

Sounding nice on 88.2 around Fleet Street/St Paul's (Central London) earlier this evening. Rude is always a great listen. Quality DnB station.
