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??

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

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?!

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.

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

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 :lol:

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