Isle of Man advertises longwave licence 
 

The Isle of Man government has finally advertised for applicants to run a
500Kw longwave radio station from the island. 

Readers of Newstide and it's predecessors will know that this advertisment
is the latest stage in a campaign to establish a new longwave station on
the island - a campaign that has been running since 1993. 

The advertisment warns that applicants will be expected to go through the
normal planning and enviromental impact assesment process with regards to
the establishment of the considerably extensive transmission site and tower
needed for the broadcasts, and notes that planning permission will not be
automatically granted. A requirement to broadcast on reduced power at night
is also noted. 

The station will transmit on a frequency of 270Khz, and should be heard
clearly over most of the UK. 

Bids are expected from The Isle of Man International Broadcasting Company,
United Christian Broadcasters, and a "Radio Caroline" (but this is NOT the
Peter Moore official Radio Caroline - but another group using the name!)
