NEW FROM OFFSHORE ECHO\u2019S
\nTHE OFFSHORE RADIO YEARS re-visited
\nTHE RADIO ATLANTIS STORY
\nA new DVD \/ Blu-ray audio visual documentary about the Flemish offshore radio station.
\nWhen 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\u2019t get airplay on other radio stations.
\nWhen Radio Caroline lost her antenna in October 1973, it marked the end of Atlantis\u2019s association with the station. A better offer for airtime hire had been received, and Adriaan looked for his own ship.
\nThe former Radio Condor ship was purchased, and became the new home for Radio Atlantis, featuring a Flemish service, and an international English language service.
\nThe English service, programmed by Steve England, revived the atmosphere and fun of the British offshore stations of the 1960\u2019s, through excellent use of production and jingles.
\nAtlantis 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.
\nThis new DVD \/ Blu-ray documentary, narrated by Steve England, features movies, pictures, interviews, jingles and airchecks.
