FCUK FM prepares for launch
Published Monday, Mar 29 2004, 22:01 BST | By Darren Shelley
A rolling promo for FCUK FM has started on channel 934 ahead of its official launch on April 1st.
The new radio station replaces the temporary offering from The Selector - labelled as 'Radio' on the EPG - which was available on the channel number previously.
Breaking away from the traditional mould of existing radio stations will be the key aim as FCUK FM will not have breakfast or drive-time slots, set presenters at certain times of the day or a station playlist.
Album tracks being played on the station rather than singles is another major difference.
Shows like My FCUK where celebrities present their own programmes, Dead DJs that allows celebrity soundalikes to play their favourite tracks and Winner Stays On in which listeners will have a chance to turn DJ and compete to stay on air the longest in a Pop Idol-style voting show are all to be featured.
