The UK’s OneGold finally launches - in Spain!

The much-anticipated British oldies station OneGold, which received a lot of publicity in the UK 18 months ago but never actually launched, has finally started broadcasting, but the only area that can receive it over the air is the Costa Brava in Spain, where it is available on 102.7 MHz. For the rest of the world, the station is streaming on its new website at http://www.onegold.co.uk.

Plans to use mediumwave 1395 kHz were abandoned after it became clear that the transmitter at Trintelhaven in the Netherlands could not deliver a commercially viable signal into the UK. That transmitter was used until a few weeks ago by Big L, but has been taken off the air due to financial problems. Until last week, two of the OneGold presenters, Mike Read and Paul Shanley, were broadcasting via Big L.
