Noordzee 100.7 FM
Noordzee 100.7 FM was a private Dutch radio station which broadcast its programs from 1992 to 2005 and again from 2007 to 2008. In addition to Radio 10 Gold, it also belonged to Talpa Radio International .
history
The forerunner of Noordzee 100.7 FM was the pirate station Radio Noordzee Internationaal , which was on a ship in international waters off the Dutch coast and broadcast from there from 1970. The ship belonged to two Swiss, the program was produced by the Dutch publisher Strengholt . On August 31, 1974 the broadcast was stopped.
It was not until almost twenty years later, in 1992, that Strengholt-Verlag received its first license for a commercial broadcaster, which was then called Radio Noordzee Nationaal . In 2002 the station was sold to Talpa Media Holding , founded by John de Mol . De Mol hired the well-known presenter Erik de Zwart as program director to increase the market share. After the promising start, things went downhill, and the dismissal of Erik de Zwart didn't change that. Radio Nordzee was handed over to the Flemish group of companies De Persgroep in May 2005 for the symbolic price of one euro and soon afterwards was renamed Q-music . On August 31, 2005, Radio Nordzee went for the last time on the airwaves , exactly 30 years to the day after the original radio station Radio Noordzee Internationaal was closed . Radio Noordzee could be received as a digital broadcast until 2008.
The program was only given its frequency in the course of a large-scale frequency changeover in the Netherlands in 2003. Before that, FM Sky Radio in the Netherlands could be heard on frequencies 100.7 and 100.4 broadcast in single-frequency operation . The station offered a classic AC program with current hits as well as titles from the 1980s and 1990s. The format put the emphasis on light music and less on verbal contributions.
reception
Noordzee FM was received across the Netherlands on VHF and many cable networks . The station was also broadcast on the Internet via a live stream.
