Default Radio Luxembourg to return?

Wednesday, May 05, 2004

Confirming rumours circulating in the UK over the past few months,
Luxembourg-based commercial broadcaster RTL Group has released a promotional
DVD which sets out its strategy for using Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM). One
of the options under consideration is reviving the English service, which
ran until the early 90's on mediumwave 1440 kHz. A chart showing requested
usage of longwave, mediumwave and shortwave for DRM indicates that RTL has
requested a shortwave frequency covering the UK, while mediumwave and
longwave are under consideration.

Other DRM expansion plans include a shortwave service for
transcontinental/eastern Europe, a mediumwave service for Belgium and the
Netherlands, and a fourth RTL network for France. RTL says it expects DRM
consumer receivers to be shipping in quantity by the second half of 2005.

Keynsham's widest claim to fame was Horace Batchelor who advertised his
football pools system on Radio Luxembourg. Because Keynsham isn't
pronounced as it's written (what self-respecting English place name is?),
he had to spell out his postal address K - E - Y..

The German service of Radio Luxembourg (or RTL, as it is called now)
has recently re-activated the mediumwave frequency (on 1440 khz)for
its programme in German language. I doubt that this frequency will be
utilised for any other programme, for example one in English language,
in the near future.
