Upfront FM 99.3
Going back a few years here, but this was a legendary station. I was a huge fan of Upfront and was gutted when they ceased to broadcast. It came at a time if I remember rightly that their events were huge - I recall one at Atlantis on Purley Way (which was a big club) and it was rammed, hundreds queueing outside.
Does anyone know what happened?

Re: Upfront FM 99.3
I think Taste went on 99.3 when Upfront stopped broadcasting. There was 9nine3 for a bit too. Then Flashback.
A lot of the Upfront DJs and MCs went on to Elite 92.5fm.

They may have been on that block near Penge Homebase which is between Penge West and Anerley stations. I think Boss FM used that block back in the day?

Re: Upfront FM 99.3
I used that block back in the early 80s! It got out quite well, but we moved to One Tree Hill which was much higher!

Re: Upfront FM 99.3
I met a couple of the Upfront guys a long time ago in a pub in Anerley. They needed a link receiver (or two) in a hurry, and RH put them in touch with me. They paid their cash, had a swift beer and went on their way. They were back on a couple of hours later
