Oak 107 FM
:''This is the page for the defunct CN Group station. For the service operated by Quidem see ''The New 107 Oak FM''.'' Oak 107 FM was an Independent Local Radio station owned by the CN Group and based on Prince William Road in Loughborough, Leicestershire in the UK. History Oak 107 was launched with Nic Tuff in 1999 as ''107 Oak FM''. The name was changed to ''OAK 107'' in November 2002 and again to ''Oak 107 FM'' in 2004. The station played a variety of songs from the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s and, sometimes, the 1970s. In 2003, the station supported the "Give The Luffs a Lease" campaign in favour of Loughborough Football Club's attempt to secure a long-term lease for the site of its stadium. The Radio Authority (now Ofcom) ruled that this "was acceptable because the station was satisfied that the vast majority of its listeners would support it and the issue was not made into a political controversy".http://www2.mad.co.uk/story.aspx?uid=45cb4ea7-04b5-4528-9a97-eea514702497 The ...

CN Group Limited was formerly an independent local media business based in Carlisle, Cumbria, England, operating in print and radio.

Independent Local Radio
Independent Local Radio is the collective name given to commercial radio stations in the United Kingdom. As a result of the buyouts and mergers permitted by the Broadcasting Act 1990, and deregulation resulting from the Communications Act 2003, most commercial stations are now neither independent (although they remain independent from the BBC) nor local. The same name is used for Independent Local Radio in Ireland. History Development of ILR Until the early 1970s, the BBC had a legal monopoly on radio broadcasting in the UK. Despite competition from the commercial Radio Luxembourg and, for a period in the mid-1960s, the off-shore "pirate" broadcasters, it had remained the policy of both major political parties that radio was to remain under the BBC. Upon the election of Edward Heath's government in 1970, this policy changed. It is possible that Heath's victory was partly due to younger voters upset by the UK government closing down the popular pirate radio stations.

Radio Stations In Leicestershire
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
