I noticed when on holiday in Paignton last year there was GEMINI T - I assume that Exeter reads GEMINI E? That's like the two Beacon Radio stations round here, 97.2 is just "beacon" but 103.1 is "beaconSH" (for Shropshire). Also Smooth Radio is "SMOOTH-W" and in the Ea...

Re: Dead Air

I do remember once hearing a local station which should have been broadcasting a networked show.

The result was after a minute of silence, the emergency CD would ki...

Re: GCap to network in daytime

I doubt Trent, Ram and Leicester Sound would all take it either as these stations overlap a lot.
