Yes I'm Great 208 Fan As Well Since the Launch Untied DJ'S on 2nd April 2018 Good to Hear the Best DJ'S Ex Tony Prince & Other's on the Air on the Internet.
Luxembourg, a great station, however, the sound quality compared to nowadays high definition digital sound was very poor, all that crackling and interference isn't all that missed, nevertheless listening to that video brings back happy memories of the great 208
By far the best radio station ever with stellar DJ's. Today stations with silly, boring, dull hosts are left in the dust (unfortunately for us listeners)
Many summer nights in 1970s Donegal we pushed the gigantic radio sideways into the farthermost corner of the kitchen just to get a barely audible reception. Powerplay. Cedarwood. FAB 208. Loved it.
I was a teenager in the mid 70s and used to listen to 208 late night on an old Toshiba portable radio that my brother brought back from the states when he went over to Cape Cod to work as a student for the summer...the reception was in an out in the Wicklow Hills.
In the seventies in England FAB 208 would come alive around turn of darkness in the evenings. It would fade in and out but that was fine with me as a 10 year old with my tranny by my pillow. The station would then just sort of fade away like a ship on the horizon some time around 1am. Great ads about Cedarwood (Aftershave ? ). Great little inconsequential memories which get more valuable as you get older.
When I was stationed in Germany in the early 1980`s I would listen to Radio L at night because Armed Forces Radio was our only English station available at day time. It was a very enjoyable experience!
Similar here, I was at Checkpoint Alpha on the route to W. Berlin in the early '70s and Luxi got me through the swing and mid shifts in the radio room. Much better than AFN Frankfurt and Chicken Man when on the day shift.
I will always miss Radio Luxembourg. I listened to them religiously from Poland from 1975 till 1987 when I moved to Canada. I still remember some of the jingles. I loved the one based on 'Images Of Fire', a 1986 song by Fatal Charm, which was a Powerplay song of the week, when it came out
Radio Luxembourg 208 Was Best European Station All Time's on Astra 1A Satellite Frequency Channel 13 Broadcasting In Luxcrypt With RTL Veronica Than RTL 4 Until 30/12/1992.
Started off as RTL International in August 1990 initially aimed at Scandinavian CATV systems from Astra 1A satellite channel 13 11.391 GHz H Luxcrypt PAL Stereo 7.38 / 7.56 MHz Wegener Panda 🐼 1 noise reduction then became Radio Luxembourg International 24h a day after demands for music royalty payments, and closed 30th December 1992 along with 15350 kHz SW, and 1440 kHz / 208 metres MW.
Radio Lux had so high power that it made the ionosphere work as a mixer. Just Google The Radio Luxembourg effect. This was before the tinfoil age, so no conspiracies 😜
3:12 my favourite callsign begin The exellent music station, gorgeous voices of radio djs There were no kind of it our region at last 80-s St-Peteesburg (former Leningrad)
Let villa Leville, Luxembourg the one and only great 208,benny Browne,Barry Alldis,mike Hollis and shaun tilley not forgetting the late much missed bob Stewart
I remember hearing a clip with Sean Tilley attempting to get people from the then to become the former East Germany on the collapse of the Wall to call in, but people were still fearful of doing so in case it was all to go wrong and have to be heard to be speaking out or just simply couldn't believe it to be true. Understandable tbh!
I have not been able to locate a particular radion Lux... jingle that I used to hear back in the late 70s. I have listened to lists of 208 jingles but have not heard the particular one I was looking for. It had an echo in it, so I will word out the echo here to describe it! It went: 208 208 208 208, the rock, the rock, the rock, of Europe, of Europe, of Europe, etc?
If you wanted to hear rock music you had to listen to Luxembourg or Caroline, the BBC was just awful, no one could listen to them except your Gran.

Stormzy twice an hour, Ed Sheeran three times per hour....God help you if you work in a place with constant Radio1 these days. Could be a market for another station to get away from that, maybe using Digital Radio Mondial technology for stereo fm like quality on long/medium wave?

Best Pan European radio station ever, killed off 30th December 1992, very sad indeed.
I dunno. RNI was my favourite! Killed at the end of August 1974.

Loved it, in my bed, easy listing, rip 208, best station, DJs and jingles ever.❤

My teen years back to the 70ies i was a 208 fan ...Better than french radios ( fan from France )

Radio Luxembourg inspired the pirates unfortunately it ended in 1982 .1962/78 were it's heyday

fphelan535 I have not been able to locate a Luxemburg theme either. '50s David Gell theme "The Grisbies" played on a harmonica.
What jingle company made the 70s and 80s jingles or were they all done 'in-house'?
Whatever happened to Horace Batchelor and his pools plan?
