The Day Of The Offshore Radio Stations NPO Radio 5 2024

The Day Of The Offshore Radio Stations, as reported, will be heard on NPO Radio 5 on 31st of August. The day is dedicated to the fact that that Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the glory days of stations like Radio Veronica, Radio Noordzee and Radio Atlantis, through an amendment to Dutch law. Stations like Mi Amigo and Caroline decided to break the law and remained on air for years to come.
On Saturday 31st of August, all hours until 6pm will focus on the sound of the offshore stations of yesteryear. For instance, Bart van Leeuwen will have Lex Harding visiting him in his programme between 16:00 and 18:00. But there will also be a focus on the wave of offshore stations in the 1960s and, for example, Felix Meurders will pay attention to his favourite station of the time, Wonderful Radio London. Jingleweb (Benno Roozen and Jelle Boonstra) provide the design.
Hans Schiffers on the special event on Radio 5: “During the week of 26-30 August, we also refer to Saturday in Arbeidsvitaminen (9:00-12:00). I spoke to Leo van der Goot, Tineke, Ad Bouman, Ad Roland and Ferry Maat. We make short portraits of them that can be heard during Arbeidsvitaminen. Moreover, I asked them about their favourite music from the years they were active at the time. Roland was -as you know- Ad Petersen and presented the Joepie hitlist in 1974 on Radio Mi Amigo. Van der Goot and Maat presented at Radio Noordzee. Tineke and Ad Bouman for Radio Veronica.”
Clearly, after half a century, the subject of “offshore radio stations” is still in the spotlight.

They end up at the Camborne studios where Simon was and attack him and smash up anything resembling a rig [including the 103.1 FM rig]. He later dies in hospital of a heart attack. The mob is arrested but charges are later dropped. DJs had been trying to catch the gang as they took the rigs off one by one and were too late when they realised, they were actually going for Simon’s place, something several of them found it hard to forgive themselves for.
