Radio London (Netherlands)

Radio London is a Dutch commercial radio station with English-language programmes on Britain, which broadcast by 19 september 2006 to 1 August 2008 and then from 3 december 2009. The radio station uses the same name as the former offshore station Radio London (1964 – 1967) but has no link with that. But especially the name Big L is now used by this radio station.

The transmitter transmits on 1395 KHz medium wave, 215 m (daily turned off from 20: 00 to 23: 00 UK time) and via Web radio on their website. However no more via satellite.

From 1 October 2007 to 1 August 2008 on Big L daily on weekdays from 5 to 6 a.m. a Dutch hours broadcast.

The medium wave transmitter is located at the Trintelhaven, this is a harbour about halfway to the dike Enkhuizen-Lelystad at the side of the IJsselmeer. However, this transmitter are switched off daily from 20 – 23 hours Radio Tirana from Albania, so that at the exact same frequency broadcast, at that time not by Big L may be obscured.

However, since 1 August 2008 This transmitter was switched off for 16 months. The reason of this was most likely that the owner of this radio station, Ray Anderson, the skyrocketing price of the diesel oil that is required to be able to keep this transmitter "turning", then could no longer pay.

In the meantime, per 9 October 2008 also broadcasts via the Astra 2 satellite (which functioned as "feed" for the medium wave transmitter) discontinued.

However on december 3, 2009 This transmitter was turned back on, but should these daily 20: 00 to 23: 00 from left standing due to disturbance of this broadcasting on Radio Tirana.

Also starting from 3 december 2009 KBC Radio is financially sponsored by Maha that from 23: 00 to 7: 00 pm broadcast on this channel.

As of January 25, 2011, the broadcasts of the Maha on 1395 kHz yet again discontinued. From 1 april 2012 to 30 april 2013 Radio Seagull sent out on this frequency.
