Does anyone remember push fm on 1077 in 2006 it was a breakaway station from house fm they had a studio raid at the end of 2006 and never returned to the fm dial?

I remember hearing about it but I thought it was a little more recent than that??

The old Magic FM 90.2 lot came back as Pure MCG on 107.7 a few years back, very bad choice of dials and you'd think an old station of their experience would know better! But saying that they came on a couple of years back in Brighton on 89.4 blasting out the dial, the audio was so loud you could still hear it on 89.9! Lasted a few days... lol

There's also Vibe FM around here on 107.6 so that probably makes 107.7 one of London's dumbest.

What's going on with 94.4 Street fm and Flames FM been battling it out for years and years, didn't Flames move and now they've moved back again?

No one has any respect for each other any more coming on over the top of each other without a care for anyone! Was nothing like that back in the days when stations would call each other to ask if they can come on 0.3MHz away! It's a very sad state of today's radio affairs.

As for the 94.4 station's I think its the flames one that can be heard on the Westside? also 1076 is another rubbish frequency as well because you got no less than 2 stations within 45 miles of London on it,Watford and another in Basingstoke.

Yeah time does fly, it's mad it was 10 years ago now!

No it's Flava which used to be called Street who dominate the west side on 94.4, they come from NW London.
......Flames are east based I think.
Kool moved to 94.6 because of Street around 1998 time as the person who was building their rigs lived in Baker St at the time and could only get 94.4 and he was a DnB head and even did the odd guest show on there. So he moved them to 94.6 and could listen to them on 94.65.

Yes 107.6 is not a good idea ....that thing in Watford gets out like a sack of shit and it's supposed to be running 200w, so it wouldn't be hard to take that out.
Plus Kestrel 107.6 from the AA building gets out very well out of the area as the building is tall and on raised ground but I don't think it reaches well very into London apart from higher ground.
You've also got that Time FM thing on 107.5 from Havering though and I know they got the hump with people using 107.4 and 107.6 especially when the Centreforce crew were on there.

The centreforce broadcasts were a legal deal with time 1075 and lasted a few years and only ended when the program controller left. I don't know where street and flames came from ,my radio definitely only picked up the flames station

Fair enough, I recall you saying your beam was best set up for East London so maybe that's why you get Flames instead??
...I remember having Street FM clear near Woking town centre a just few years back when I was there, this was just on a standard domestic HiFi downstairs.
