We'll just have to wait and see, 101.4 was supposedly going to have something else licensed on that but it's been free for a while now.

First of all 1014 was ultra local and I don't think there is much enthusiasm for radio licenses now especially outside London now which not surprising because new people have seen what's happened to ILR stations over the past 10 years or so

I wouldn't say On FM were ultra-local as they were licensed for 25w or 50w broadcasting from the roof of the large Citibank tower in Hammersmith, where as Kick-it werre licensed for 25w but only using 12w and broadcasting from a much lower site as they couldn't get planning to get an aerial up any of the Sunbury Cross towers.

Back on lower power than last time but its taken 10 weeks to come back that's a long time and each time it's longer than the last break lets see how long project is with us this time?

I'm more than double that distance must be at least 32 miles away but without Time 1066 it's a completely vacant channel on this side project are lucky no one jumped on 1065 or 6 like I said before its 10 weeks today they were last on.got to last longer this time surly?

They certainly are and there well might be people wanting to take the channel but it never seems to go well for new stations taking old station's channels?

I still remember when it was Force 106.4, first heard it around the end of 1994.
