FRS-Holland 44 years This Saturday is the official birthday of FRS-Holland. Originally started on August 31, 1980, we celebrate our 44th anniversary. We will pay attention to this in our October (or early November) broadcast.
August month = Offshore Radio month August: Offshore Radio Month August is a significant radio month with regard to offshore radio. It was on August 14, 1967, that the English offshore stations (except for both Carolines) had to cease their activities from the sea due to the Marine Offences Act. On August 31, 1974, Radio North Sea International, Veronica, and Atlantis met the same fate. Mi Amigo continued from a new anchor location off the English coast along with Radio Caroline. This Saturday marks exactly 50 years since Veronica and Radio Northsea Int. stopped their broadcasts. This special ‘anniversary’ will not go unnoticed! Internet station Radio Veronica 192 is broadcasting the final week of Veronica in its entirety this week: www.192radio.nl/192radioplayer/index.php.
This Saturday, starting at 12:00 PM, a reunion will begin, and Radio 192 will broadcast from the legendary Norderney (in Amsterdam) with some of the original DJs. Another oldies internet station is Radio Extra Gold. While everyone else stops on August 31, Radio Extra Gold will present the annual Offshore Radio Top 74 live from Museum RockArt in Hoek van Holland this time on Sunday, September 1, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, in the most beautiful museum in the Netherlands. www.extragold.nl . The Dutch 'state radio' also pays attention to the offshore stations. This will happen on Saturday, August 31, on Radio 5. For more info, videos, podcasts, and more, visit www.nporadio5.nl .
