Radio Sovereign was a radio station that broadcast 'Golden Oldies' from their studios in Sherland Road, Twickenham, London. ==Description== The station was founded by John Kenning and Crispian St. John. Radio Sovereign commenced broadcasts on 10 May 1983 and closed down on 2 January 1984. The original frequency of 1503 kHz was later replaced by the better-received 1494 kHz. Jingles used on the station included a specially-commissioned package recorded by the singers at Pams of Dallas, who provided the jingles used by the offshore pirate radio station Wonderful Radio London in the 1960s. Sovereign's music format was unique in that it was quite usual to hear three records in a row by a major band or artist. Many rare and seldom heard-oldies were also played. News was broadcast at half past each hour, followed by a current Top Forty contender, which was the exception to the Solid Gold format; these records were known as 'Future Gold' records. Radio Sovereign operated from 3 Sherland Road, Twickenham. The on-air address was announced as 'Radio Sovereign, Surbiton'. However, no broadcasts were ever made from Surbiton! After closing in the UK, the station moved to Camporosso, Italy, in May 1984 under the name Radio Sovereign International. The station is named "88.4 – The Rock of the Riviera". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radio Sovereign」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
