Cable One

Cable One was the first commercial radio station that was to receive in Netherlands. Well known dj's of the drive were Tom Mulder, Kas van Iersel and Linda de Mol.Because commercial radio in Netherlands to 1992 was forbidden, Cable One sent out through the so-called U-turn construction. The judge forbade the way Cable One that did however, making it drive already forced had to stop broadcasting after a year and a half. ==History[ Edit] == After the end of the zeezenderperiode on 31 August 1974 the Dutch listening audience could only listen to the public radio stations. Commercial radio and television was not yet allowed in Netherlands. In the late 1980s, however, was the so-called ' U-turn construction ' came up with. It was a question of commercial radio stations were formally foreign and also on countries other than the Netherlands founded. Because foreign commercial broadcasters were allowed to be passed through Dutch cable networks.

Cable One went on 8 February 1988 as initiative of Willem van Kooten and Ad ossendrijver. The station was formally a British company and was to receive at the start, among other things, on the cable networks of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but also that of Glasgow and Berlin [1]. To highlight the European character of the station, the jingles were sung in English and talked most DJs a mix of Dutch and English, a language that he devised by Willem van Kooten baptized ' Eurowaals '. Also the slogan was English: ' The Station of the Stars '.

Within months of the start of Cable One were also Radio 10 and Sky Radio launched, also via a U-turn construction. Because the commercial cable stations won popularity fairly quickly, at the expense of the public radio stations, flexed the NOS in 1989 a lawsuit against the cable operator of Gouda to Cable to get One of the cable. The NOS won the lawsuit and under threat of a hefty penalty disappeared Cable One of the cable.

After the tv channels RTL Véronique TV10 had to resign and to also via a U-turn construction in the Netherlands from going send Commissariaat voor de Media, started an investigation into the U-turn construction. The conclusion: Radio 10, Sky Radio and RTL Véronique were foreign channels, Cable One and Dutch and were thus not allowed according to the TV10 law [2]. Hereinafter referred to as also of the satellite and Cable One disappeared finally fell the cloth for the transmitter. TV10 was the first broadcast raised. ==Programs[ Edit] == Cable One wielded a middle of the road (MOR) format with oldies from the 1960s and ' 70s, supplemented by easy listening from the 80s. The programs were presented by Tom Mulder, Kas van Iersel, Linda de Mol, Joost den Draaijer (Willem van Kooten), Yvonne Keeley and Karl Hammer K. Cable 1 had its own news service, with news that in the Dutch and English was presented. Presenter Karl Hammer K a few years later discovered a loophole in European media law (the so-called ' double siege ') which the cable was no longer limited to commercial radio but also on the airwaves should be broadcast.
