When is flex coming on then?
Im sure rinse never took this long to come on air after getting licenced.
Or are they already on and Ive missed something.
I gotta b honest I dont bother scaning the dial much these days due to the constant crap thats out there.

Give them a chance only been about a month since they've won the licence. :-?

I think Funky SX came on quite quickly but still took them a good few months.

That's what I said about 9 months from the award to coming on air so I would think about Feb or March 2018 I will guess

Possibly 101.4 won't be 94.0 because that will go to one of the other licence holder further East and won't be 92.0 that's on the east side also

Not 93.0 only 2 away from radio 4 93.2 crystal palace slam radio use 93.0 and have had a very hard time staying there. 94.5 and 96.5 are on the list along with the other 3 in my last post I think 96.5 would be very low power for possibly the new station coming to the Woolwich area and 94.5 north east London so I can almost certainly say flex won't be on one of those two

That Brit School in Croydon was always given 101.4 when they had their two week RSL.

Be funny if they got 101.5 after all their history with Flight.

Definitely not going to be 101.5 it's 101.4 that will either be for flex or the new samalian station coming soon to Hammersmith don't forget that 101.6 is in use to the west of London and also in Kent

They used to be the best but like kool they gave up im sure they only use 25w now as there coverage last time i heard was about 2 miles clear. Not one post on here anynore is positive or how we can change radio its funny everybody including the stations have given up. In every area in lond theres 10 of the same stations playing the same music fighting for djs/adverts why dont some of them join up like vibes and lightning for example or house and supreme these stations have 10 djs each anyway and are mostly on autopilate one studio one tx im sure they would make money then instead in london theres 80 plus stations fighting a losing battle it seems

Intresting you recon house is only 25 watts? I think it's a bit more than that I don't think it's very high up used to be able to pick it up all round the most
M25 when it first went on 100.3 I can still get it in Windsor Great Park on a good day otherwise I go online

Vines was a breakaway from lightning way back in 1990 just like station fm and supreme were the same at one time supreme closed the first time in 1990 then some of the djs started station in 1991 and about 10 years later supreme returned it's seems odd but I don't think any of them will merge

yeah why would you want to merge and have djs listerners and ads and make money that dont make sense there better of all struggling with 7 djs and no paying ads that way pirates can die slowly. Most of the people still involved are all old and brainless anyway or there stations wouldnt be so shit anyway good luck to them anyway its the same up here all the stations are run by brainless idiots using towerblocks at the bottom of mountains we have to face it the people involved nowadays in radio are just mostly braindead theres simply no other explanation

Last week i had it clear for two miles in east london everywhere else it was unlistenable so i gather it cannot be more then 25w or theres a tx issue but im 99% sure they decreased power to try and get license or something like that as they used to get all over now they get east london and not even all of that!
