NEW FROM OFFSHORE ECHO’S
THE OFFSHORE RADIO YEARS re-visited
THE RADIO ATLANTIS STORY
A new DVD / Blu-ray audio visual documentary about the Flemish offshore radio station.
When Belgian businessman Adriaan van Landschoot was looking for ways to promote his record company and his clothing business, he found the ideal way was to hire airtime from Radio Caroline. One of the aims of Radio Atlantis was to promote Flemish and Belgian artists, that didn’t get airplay on other radio stations.
When Radio Caroline lost her antenna in October 1973, it marked the end of Atlantis’s association with the station. A better offer for airtime hire had been received, and Adriaan looked for his own ship.
The former Radio Condor ship was purchased, and became the new home for Radio Atlantis, featuring a Flemish service, and an international English language service.
The English service, programmed by Steve England, revived the atmosphere and fun of the British offshore stations of the 1960’s, through excellent use of production and jingles.
Atlantis came to an end with the passing of the Dutch MOA in 1974. But for just over a year, Atlantis is fondly remembered for the Flemish music, and the fun English service.
This new DVD / Blu-ray documentary, narrated by Steve England, features movies, pictures, interviews, jingles and airchecks.
