Radio London has started test transmissions today, Monday 21st March, on Sky channel 940. With a format mirrored on the 1960s pop pirate, Radio London will officially launch on May 2nd from 100Kw medium wave transmitters in Holland with a footprint which will cover all of the UK and continental Western Europe, and simultaneously on SKY 940. Elvis Presley will be a core artist on the station which will carry the "BIG EL ON BIG L" weekly Elvis hour hosted by Todd Slaughter.

Great. I guess this will figure in a nice way, along with all the cross-marketing that will be going on over the next year or so.

At Easter last year Radio Essex did a pirate radio week which was so popular that people were asking for them to overhaul all their programmes and keep the format! However, the reason it worked was because the music played was entirely from the 50s and 60s. If this is the case with the new Radio London, I'll listen to it all the time. If, in order to listen to The Kinks, Stones, Hendrix and Elvis, I'll have to wade through Madonna, George Michael and Michael Jackson, I will not be listening.

i hope that they give a good variety of songs instead of the old lot that is on the radio . dont get me wrong the greatest hits are his greatest songs but elvis is a lot more than that and we wont get bored always hearing the same songs . all the 50's , 60's and 70's pleaseeeee .
