Why's that? Didn't they say April?

They said one month, so should have been back by Feb

When was the last time any radio launched on time in the last 30 or so years I can't remember any station launched on time and it's only March now

Something is bubbling under the surface according to their latest social media posts....

koollondon.com has also moved to a new holding page with links to the socials.

K31.studio has a decent stream.

Kool London DJs have been getting their rejection texts today.

I must admit i did think this would happen....

Any kool DJ's looking to move feel free to text or whatsapp us on 07551-887-997

Infinity has moved to Eruption, Phantom D is now on Divine while some of the other DJs have been on the K31 Chatroom stream.

Is this K31 thing what's been on 94.6 over the last couple months?

I'm surprised they have gone as far as they have. Would be interesting to know how they came to some decisions.

Bunter was offered Monday afternoons on the new Kool but he isn't happy with the restrictions. He's off to Centreforce to play on Wednesday afternoons.

He also mentioned that Centreforce are launching a new station that concentrates on the underground side and will take Music Mondays to that station. (Music Mondays he does on his Mixcloud and the K31 stream)

Funky Flirt was also surprisingly rejected by the new management too, so who are they getting?

I see Bunters post earlier, very frank with his reasons - such a shame that a legendary brand like Kool looks like it is going to be ripped apart. I think it's fair to say, Kool is no longer Kool and this reincarnation will just be a new startup. Rinse has taken it over to kill the competition.

Flirt has just signed with the new Kool fm! I've just spoken to him... Big ups to funky flirt! I wish him all the best. One Luv!

K31 has rebranded as Underground Bass. The stream was originally set up to play Kool Archives with some guest slots from ex Kool DJs, but has become an outlet for former Kool DJs who were rejected by Rinse to carry on playing.

So looks like we will end up with two new stations off the back of Kool.

On the Underground Bass schedule page, they have the following DJs, most are ex Kool:

Tenners Ten Tun
Darkness
Tricky C
DC Crew
Uniques
Mikeeshy
Dark Phoenix
TechnoKen
Skie (ex Eruption/Pulse, currently on Rise Radio, the Eruption splinter station)
Slimist MC
Dizzy Blonde
Syrus Electro
K-I
Agent K
Ellis
Jay Cunning
Richie SK
Tamsin
Shelli B (who I think is listener Oldskool who set up K31 and runs the chatroom)
Distant Planet Crew - Hughesee and Louise Plus One.
Jaguar PAW
Tony C
Jim Bitch
Phantom D (also on Divine)
Switch
Maddex
Code
Infinity (also playing on Eruption)
Terra
Garry G
DJ Domz
Viper
April Rain
NME & Rerun.

This gives you a clue of how many ex Kool were rejected by Rinse, however Thunda Banton is currently on Underground Bass and Bunter is on 12-2 Monday until his show moves to the new Centreforce spin-off station.

Interesting development. This what's been rolling music on 94.6 the last couple of months then since Kool switched off?

The music is what it is. Let's see what Rinse crew have to offer.

I would imagine Kool will relaunch as possible legal fm /dab small scale ?
And the spin off internet only .. not sure what the purpose of 94.6 is.playing oldskool etc ,I guess time will tell.. Also would be interesting to see if Skie or DC continue with Rise radio or move over to underground base completely . Same as phantom d with Devine 951.. radio certainly isn’t what it used to be , that’s for sure !
