[HCDX] Special Radio Luxembourg programme on DR

["Stig Hartvig Nielsen" <hartvig@xxxxxx>]

On New Year's Eve it will be 10 years since the English service of Radio Luxembourg very sadly was silenced. This anniversary will be celebrated by the national Danish pubcaster DR P4 on New Year's Eve from 2315-0400 UTC. 

Usually the AM transmitters of DR are closed down at night - but not so on the night before New Year's Day. P4 will be carried on MW 1062 kHz from Kalundborg (250 kW) all night long - and so listeners in Northern Europe,  most of Western Europe and parts of Central Europe should be able to pick up this programme, which will be hosted by Allan Krautwald and Florian Fastina. Most of the programme will obviously be in Danish but most of it will consist of music well known from Radio Luxembourg, jingles etc.. Besides - there'll be a couple of interviews in English with a.o. Tony Prince and Benny Brown.

The long wave transmitter at Kalundborg will also be on the air through the night before New Year's Day. On 243 kHz (300 kW) the youth channel P3 will be audible from 0000 UTC. 

It may also be of interest to someone that P3 will be celebrating its 40 years anniversary on New Year's Day. There's a story (in Danish) about P3 here: http://www.radionyt.com/artikel/default.asp?id=5747 and there'll be a couple of special programmes on this anniversary on New Year's Day. Probably only on FM - but you may try  http://dr.dk/nav/netplayer/player.asp?station=2 where streaming of P3 is available.


Best 73s,
