An underestimated station

Post by ofcomhater » Fri Jan 22, 2016 10:37 pm

Just picked up playback uk crystal clear in Bedfordshire.Was very impressed with there power there pushing.How long have they been about.Don't get the reckonison it deserves that's my opinion. Got to say gets out a lot better than raw uk did when they first came on.The only station I can now pick up.

The freq doesn't work well if your local to them on a standard tuner, due to the legals giving them a battering but they will get out well due to height asl.

Lips FM is one of the worst ever names for a station to date. It sounds almost as ridiculous as 'Don't Test'.

It's a legacy thing, a bit like the save button in pretty much every piece of software being a floppy disk. It's not something that will happen in the future.

What is the point of using an existing name?
