Nostalgia radio stations - Radio

hanssolo · 04-02-2007, 12:36

We now seem to have several nostalgia stations with streams on the web and other outlets:
1. Radio Luxembourg now playing classic rock using old SW masts refurbished for DRM and at least one DJ with connection to the old station.
2. Radio Caroline with an old ship and a stream on Sky and Worldspace.
3. BigL on MW and Sky with at least one DJ with connection to the old station. Played old tapes of the old station during test transmissions but is now trying to be like an ILR station.
4. Radio London (with no connections to BigL) with a web only oldies project stream to recreate the feel of the old station.

Any more to come and will any of these survive?

Hopefully not, everybody does the nostalgia thing and some a lot, lot better that those you've mentioned above, so what's the point?
