Nothing will ever happen to their license as they are government approved.

I like their merchandise, I have two t shirts from them one with the station logo and one with #RCFF on it. I like how its so independent and hasn't become some tacky shitty Kiss clone. Rinse are sticking to their roots! I bet if they got this license in the 90s when Jungle/DnB/Garage was at its height it'd be like how it is now, very focused on pushing styles that don't see the light of day on commercial radio i.e. these days UK Funky, grime and other such niche sub genres.

Gee, Rat and Sarah.

Also, they haven't played Funky properly in years. Roska does the odd Funky flashback set but that's about it.

Their rig must have been taken, why else would it have been off for this long?

Could it have been killed by Killer?

Yes then that would make a difference the same was done for lon Greek radio back in 1990 and the increased hight made a huge difference with out any power increase I used to be able to pick it up as far out as Reading at that time before new local relay transmitters for the station that is now heart started filling the whole outer london dial

That's probably the reason it went off for a few days then.

...A few hours I can understand though but not days!

Rinse are so different to back when they were a little Jungle station in 1994. It's mad when you look back.
