Just seen a web page (wirralradio.co.uk) announcing (yet) another local station for the Wirral. We already have 2, can The Wirral sustain another?
Does anyone have any info on this? Frequencies, area of transmission...?
Is it the station that comes from the YMCA in Birkenhead?

Putting that frequency in looks like a relaunch of 7Waves? You'd know more about the background to all that than I do.

16th June is the relaunch date. They need the DAB really as the coverage on 92.1 is very poor being in between two radio 3 frequencies.
92.1 7 Waves - seemingly changing to Wirral Radio
97.1 Capital Wirral - copy of Capital WRexham - sourced from London with Wrexham based breakfast and drive show. Adverts always localised.
So we really only have one station -
(oh and there is two hospital stations
1386 kHz: Radio Clatterbridge
and Arrowe Sound
I forgot about Clatterbridge! Jimbo. I was talking about Flame on AM. Radio Clatterbridge gets out well. Are there any plans to put Arrowe Sound on AM?
Not quite. They are largely shuffling the pack - and it's long overdue, IMO.
I'm hoping the music will be skewed older and the presenters will be professional. If not the case, it'll be straight back to my regular choices.

I still think that Wirral Radio should open themselves up and go down the syndication route for a few programmes as I've noticed that the stations that do seem to recieve more listeners in the way of oh so and so is on the station lets tune in.
Also this has been posted on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SznOZYqoTa4 to be fair all sounds good.
Yikes. It's the love child of Dale Winton and Cilla Black.

They're on DAB, testing on the new Welsh MUX, which is by far the best for us! I wish Magic would switch! Look for "TEST", it's at 64k.
Weird actually, but I am home in North Shropshire now, well within reach of the Moel-Y-Parc DAB transmitter, yet "Test" won't appear on my Pure Evoke Flow. I did a retune and it registers that a new radio station is there but it won't tune in to it
EDIT: Factory re-set did the trick!
