Touch 94.0 FM are back

[chesney79]

Just had a listen to them online through the tune in app sounds terrible is this the same on FM??

Fairwell Voice of Africa, close the door on the way out....

It seems them or someone else is coming back, can now hear test tones on the same dial.

[BobbyDub]

Yeh can hear that too in SE, hope its not VOA coming back =/

[s2000]

Im hearing these test tones today, everytime the test tone plays the stereo light on my receiver lights up. Also got some bad news, ocassionally the rds comes in and reads "VOAR"!!

[mrillusion]

someone should start a petition against VOAR or something, its a waste of a dial

The two handled petition. Great for padlocks, some bolts, RG213 coax and of course my toe nails.

[chesney79]

The problem is VOAR seem to have the money to waste. Was hoping something good would come about this frequency, so have Touch vacated the building??

[fuze]

does anyone know its voa? where i am its just a rig on silent, a lot stonger than voa ever were...

[fuze]

oh cosmic! there is audio now, which would suggest its voa. What a load of shit, now its wiping out 94.2 now in brentwood, i can vaigly get true sounds in the background on 94.3

[McDonalds]

& north of brentwood Radio poor 94.1 starts coming in to but lucky my radio still gets 94.2.

[BobbyDub]

Playing some type of African music now so must be them...

[s2000]

I think VOAR has already started overmodulating, when I tune to them, the audio sounds very distorted and the signal bars which are on full cut out for a split second when a loud part of audio is played.. Also can hear their audio on 94.2fm with the tuner on "supper narrow".. Wierd lol

[fuze]

yeah its bleeding all over 94.2 in brentwood, i cant get true flavas at all, unless they are off air?

[teckniqs]

Can still hear TF weak in Worthing so it's definitely still on.

...Is Touch still on?

[s2000]

That overmodulating appears to have stopped now with VOAR, cant hear them on 94.2 now just hear a blank carrier of TF. Trouble is now VOAR audio keeps cutting out every so often, almost like a mid point mobile buffering. Have they come back as a pirate or legal?!

Quite funny really should use their link to report them, the "Nandos" music keeps cutting out

[Steve]

Heard VOAR today - Locking solid on the M25 around Essex. But for the record the original Touch came from some of the old Risk Fm crew, who joined forces with Brother Nick (not brother in law) from Station FM.

[chesney79]

VOAR have no doubt flashed the gash and managed to return to the FM to do a abysmal job once again.

COM open your eyes and give us something we could all listen too

[fuze]

you know what ofcom should do...
form one station especially for all different types of underground music, and have dj's play what they want (apart from offencive music with bad language ect) and then people wouldn't need to broadcast illegally, but then again there would be no fun in it i suppose, but it may help ofcom in some way... personally for me if i ever went back on the air to play tunes it would be a pirate, but after 13 years playing on various different essex and london stations i gave it all up. Maybe one day i may return to the air to do a clang or two

It wouldn't work. No one would listen to it, and they'd only end up selling out like Kiss and Choice.
