Hans Knot International Radio Report July/August 2017
Hans Knot International Radio Report July/August 2017 Welcome to another issue of the International Radio Report and like every summer it will be one for the month of July and August. Thanks for the many response on last issue as well as memories and photos have been sent in for this and further issues. Enjoy the report! Sadly we have to start with bad news. May the 30th the following sad news came in from Mark Sloane (Pat Hammerton) ‘Sorry to report Hans my dear chum David Gilbee, Dave Mackay, died this weekend. He and I met on Radio 390 and worked together on 355. He was also my brother in law, marrying my sister Lis.’ Dave MacKay Radio 355 Photo: collection Pirate Hall of Fame I’m very sorry to hear this sad news Pat. Of course you know him far much better than I do. I met him on a handful of occasions and was in contact with him by e-mail through the years. Of course he was on special Radio Reunions a few times in England where we met during the last 20 years. But our very first meeting was one, were we sometimes talked about. It was a very special day just after the official opening of Melody Radio in London. I was there for a special for our magazine and he told me all about the station, the style of presentation but above all how much of the music was transferred to a machine which was just put into the market. It was Dave who brought me to the idea to do the same with my vinyl collection. -
Hans Knot International Radio Report December 2015 Welcome to This
Hans Knot International Radio Report December 2015 Welcome to this edition of the radio report and thanks for all the e mails with memories and more, which is most appreciated. Also this time there is a variety of subjects and so let’s start with the first one: Recently I was linked through to a message board where several people are exchanging memories and more. One of them was Terry Davis, which we know from offshore stations like Radio Atlantis and RNI. I added a memory by saying that Terry should also be remembered for his excellent ‘Beatles songs’ which were aired a lot on Radio Atlantis. Later he also worked together with Steve England in the jingle companies Tapetrix and Alfa Sounds. Well Terry sent some nice pictures from his Atlantis days in 1974. The first one is a photo from the bridge of the radioship, which was anchored in international waters off the Belgium coast in those days. The second one shows Steve England, Debbie and John Harding and a fourth person at the background which cannot be remembered by me. And finally here is a photo of the deck-hands Dean and Raffle, who were mentioned in the programs from the international service on Radio Atlantis. A regular in the report and friend since we met for the very first time in 1970 is Paul de Haan. On Saturdays I’m galley man - as I don’t want to name myself cook – on board the minesweeper ‘de Naarden’ in Delfzijl. Working there is also a machinist who was working with Dutch Marine in the seventies of last century. -
The Dutch Radio Day
The Dutch Radio Day It was in 1978 that Mike Baron and Nick Oakly from Music Radio Promotions asked as few people from the Netherlands, including Hans Knot, to cooperate in a special event called Zeezenders 20, which was held at Noordwijkerhout. Inspired by the Zeezenders 20 happening Rob Olthof from Amsterdam suggested that he, along with Hans, could organise small meetings for offshore radio fans. He made a beginning with the so- called ‘Movie Afternoons’. It was the time when private videos arose and so those 8mm movies, made by offshore radio anoraks, were screened and some discussions were launched. In 1980, Hans Verbaan of the Free Radio Campaign joined in and a group of interested people got together in a small building in Scheveningen harbour on quite a regular basis. These movie afternoons sometimes took place twice a year and it came to a point that there were more people than available chairs. Therefore some bigger locations in cities like Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and again Amsterdam had to be found. In 1984, the first guests were interviewed including Simon Barrett, Juul Geleick and Tom Mulder. In the meantime, the organising team was growing with Piet Treffers and Tom de Munck joining in. From the late eighties, more people from abroad - most of all Germany and Belgium - attended the event each year. During the nineties, more and more deejays and technicians from former offshore radio stations visited the Radio Days to be interviewed. Our team had been joined by Jelle Boonstra, who did a marvellous job within the Radio Day organisation during a period of 15 years. -

Oliveira, M.; Portela, P. & Santos, L.A. (eds.) (2012) Radio Evolution: Conference Proceedings September, 14-16, 2011, Braga, University of Minho: Communication and Society Research Centre ISBN 978-989-97244-9-5 Live and local no more? Listening communities and globalising trends in the ownership and production of local radio 1 GUY STARKEY University of Sunderland [email protected] Abstract: This paper considers the trend in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world for locally- owned, locally-originated and locally-accountable commercial radio stations to fall into the hands of national and even international media groups that disadvantage the communities from which they seek to profit, by removing from them a means of cultural expression. In essence, localness in local radio is an endangered species, even though it is a relatively recent phenomenon. Lighter- touch regulation also means increasing automation, so live presentation is under threat, too. By tracing the early development of local radio through ideologically-charged debates around public-service broadcasting and the fitness of the private sector to exploit scarce resources, to present-day digital environments in which traditional rationales for regulation on ownership and content have become increasingly challenged, the paper also speculates on future developments in local radio. The paper situates developments in the radio industry within wider contexts in the rapidly-evolving, post-McLuhan mediatised world of the twenty-first century. It draws on research carried out between July 2009 and January 2011for the new book, Local Radio, Going Global, published in December 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan. Keywords: radio, local, public service broadcasting, community radio Introduction: distinctiveness and homogenisation This paper is mainly concerned with the rise and fall of localness in local radio in a single country, the United Kingdom. -
Radio in 1984
UK and Ireland Radio Stations in 1984 During the 1980s, there were six main radio services in the UK: Radios 1 to 4, BBC 1984 is a good point at which to take a snapshot. A major expansion of BBC and local and regional radio and a single tier of independent local stations. Most Independent local radio had just completed, supported by the opening of new stations broadcast on both FM and AM, known as simulcasting. The main FM spectrum between 102 and 105 MHz. Most parts of the country could receive exception was Radio 1, which was only available on AM. However, the BBC either a BBC or independent local radio station, but not necessarily both. The national networks broadcast separate FM and AM programmes at certain times. reorganisation of the local radio FM sub-bands did not happen until 1986-7, so Radio 1 borrowed Radio 2’s FM network for a few hours a week. A few Radio 2 many stations (or their successors) now use different frequencies. Many music programmes were also carried on FM only with sport opting out on AM. transmitter powers were also increased after the frequency changes. Radio 3’s AM network sometimes broadcast cricket commentaries with regular By 1984, all of the minor upgrades to the BBC’s national AM networks, following programmes on FM only. Meanwhile Radio 4’s FM network opted out with the reorganisation in 1978 had been completed, leaving them (essentially in their education programmes. final form). The re-engineering of the FM network had begun with 30 new sites Simulcasting was needed because most car radios were AM-only during the added since the late 1970s and several transmitters upgraded to mixed 1980s and many AM-only portable radios purchased in the 1960s and early 1970s polarisation. -

The Pirates and Pop Music Radio
SELLING THE SIXTIES Was pirate radio in the sixties a non-stop psychedelic party – an offshore discothèque that never closed? Or was there more to it than hip radicalism and floating jukeboxes? From the mavericks in the Kings Road and the clubs ofSohotothemultinationaladvertisers andbigbusiness boardrooms Selling the Sixties examines the boom of pirate broadcasting in Britain. Using two contrasting models of unauthorized broadcasting, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman situates offshore radio in its social and political context. In doing so, he challenges many of the myths which have grown up around the phenomenon. The pirates’ own story is framed within an examination of commercial precedents in Europe and America, the BBC’s initial reluctance to embrace pop culture, and the Corporation’s eventual assimilation of pirate programming into its own pop service, Radio One. Selling the Sixties utilizes previously unseen evidence from the pirates’ own archives, revealing interviews with those directly involved, and rare audio material from the period. This fascinating look at the relationship between unauthorized broadcasting and the growth of pop culture will appeal not only to students of communications, mass media, and cultural studies but to all those with an enthusiasm for radio history, pop, and the sixties. Robert Chapman’s broadcasting experience includes BBC local radio in Bristol and Northampton. He has also contributed archive material to Radios One and Four. He is currently Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Performing Arts and Media Studies at Salford College of Technology.

Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter Van Dam Has Died
Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter van Dam has died DATELINE 6th January 2018 Peter van Dam - described as the great godfather of Flemish pop radio, has died at the age of 65. Best remembered for his programmes on Radio Mi Amigo, Peter also worked on other offshore stations - Radio 199, Radio Caroline and Radio Atlantis. After offshore radio Peter worked on many land-based radio stations including TROS, AVRO, KRO, Radio 10 Gold, Hilversum 3, VTM, MaevaFM, Radio Contact, Radio 192 and Radio Flandria (where he was launch Programme Director). Colleague Eric Hofman paid tribute to Peter and his contribution to Flemish radio - "The first time we met was in Vilvoorde when we became colleagues. He was a great guy, with a huge personality, both in the studio and outside. A man with a phenomenal sense of humour, a lightning-fast thinker, a genius radio maker and top disc-jockey. The only Belgian who became a DJ at Hilversum 3 in prime time and the only Belgian to present the Pinkpop Festival - a whole honour. The name Peter van Dam remains inextricably linked to the golden age of radio which he presented in his inimitable, unique style. Peter is synonymous with Radio Atlantis, Caroline, Hilversum 3, but primarily Radio Mi Amigo, where he first broadcast live on board the MV Mi Amigo and later recorded programmes in Spain. Greece also became acquainted with his enormous radio talent and experience, where he helped to promote Karpathos FM from the bottom to the top of the ratings. For me Peter van Dam is the best Belgian deejay ever. -
1959, Mais Un Autre Pays Francophone Fait Son Entrée : La Principauté De Monaco
Lieu : Palais des Festivals de Cannes Orchestre de Franck Pourcel ( France ) Présentation : Jacqueline Joubert Date : Mercredi 11 Mars Réalisateur : Marcel Cravenne Durée : 1h 13 C’est dans le prestigieux Palais des Festivals de Cannes, siège du festival de cinéma le plus fameux au monde, que la R.T.F. a choisi d’installer le quatrième concours Eurovision de la chanson. La présentation est assurée par la plus célèbre des speakerines de l’époque qui introduira les 11 participants au début du spectacle puis annoncera chacun des titres et enfin officiera lors de la proclamation des votes. Le Luxembourg ne présente pas de candidat en 1959, mais un autre pays francophone fait son entrée : la principauté de Monaco. Le Royaume-Uni revient, lui, après un an d’absence. Trois carrousels de 4 tableaux chacun sont installés sur scène et permettent la présentation de chacun des participants dans un décor évoquant son pays, qui son moulin à vent, qui sa place Saint Marc. Seule évolution du règlement, il est cette année précisé qu’aucun professionnel de la chanson ne peut être membre du jury, fait unique puisque leur composition a toujours été un savant dosage de professionnels et de membres du public, de jeunes et de moins jeunes. La Suisse et les Pays-Bas ont enfin trouvé d’autres interprètes pour porter leurs couleurs mais l’Italie confie ses chances pour la seconde fois consécutive à Domenico Modugno avec la chanson “Piove”. Si ce titre n’a pas connu la même extraordinaire destinée que “Volare”, il s’agit tout de même d’un très grand succès, le plus important de toutes les chansons de cette édition 1959, repris en France par Dalida sous le titre “Ciao, ciao bambina”.
