Magic 1152 has disappeared from the ntl FM radio hook-up service in the North West.
Although an intriguing development by itself, the explanation we've received is even more interesting. DS reader James Robinson takes up the story:
"According to the engineering department at Piccadilly Radio (Key 103 etc), it was due to a power cut at the studio and the feed has not yet been reconnected, as they did not know who to contact at ntl to discuss whether or not a contract existed between them."
Magic 1152 would normally retransmit on 96.0 MHz over the cable network. James reports that no other FM radio services have been affected.
