Hi there,
does anyone know where to get Marian Montgomery's "Maybe the morning" in good audio quality (128 kbps or more)? I've been looking for that song since Mike carried out the final words in 1992 on Luxy.... Best wishes to all of you and thanks for this great page!

After a while (2-3 years or so) i am glad to find your website again and that you have the 80s jingle collection. I was a Luxy listener from 1984 from behind the iron Curtain from southern part of Slovakia, then part of Czechoslovakia. I have fond memories of Luxy as one of the few sources of freedom. I continued to listen to it on the Astra satellite until the closedown. By the way, i found Mike Knights photos of the new studio (even with the visiting Mike Hollis) on this address:

Just to let you know.....
Today (Wednesday December 14th 2005)I was in the RTL Kirchberg building (KB1) with my hands on the new English service studio! When I have the photos in my PC I'll send them to you, so you can see what the new place looks like - it is VERY impressive and shows that RTL is extremely comitted to the future of Radio Luxembourg's programmes in English on the WWW and on DRM
Keep the faith!!!!! Best wishes,

Part2: Now I'm almost 40, living in Toronto and I'm still a huge Kraftwerk fan, and I have even played in a Kraftwerk tribute band. Looking back I can say that Luxy sure had an impact on my life along with a few other's (like Toronto's CFNY, The Spirit of Radio). I had a great deal of fun with all the synthesizer's that I had bought over the years. Who knows if I had ever even wanted to play synthesizer's if it hadn't been for that fateful night, listening to 208. And now I am doing radio as well, even if it is internet radio. Along with my wife, I host a weekly show on www.flashbackalternatives.com every Thursday night at 9:00pm EST (repeats Friday mornings at 3:00am) called A Darker Shade of Retro, where I play classic Industrial and Goth music. I just want to say thanks to all those at 208 Radio Luxemburg for expanding my horizons and starting a few dreams which became a reality for me.

I just wanted to comment on your great web site.
I spent the first few years of my life growing up in Northern Canada. By the time I was 10 my family moved to Germany. To my horror I discovered that most European AM radio was so bland and uninteresting. But one night in late 1976 I was surfing the dial and found some pretty great music, so I could wait to find out what station I was listening to. Turns out it was 208, and I was hooked ever since. I would listen to Rob Jones a lot, but my favourite show was Street Heat with Stuart Henry. I remember Stuart playing Oxygen2 by Jean Michelle Jarre and describing in great detail what a synthesizer was. I was fascinated. I also remember being blown away by Rich Wilde's "The Lady wants to be Alone". I spent 24 years looking for that record. And the first time I heard Kraftwerk was on that station. The coolest thing was that you had access to some of the hottest Top 40 Tracks, as well as some really wild obscure stuff like Wire and The Police before they even had a hit single.
After those days I always either wanted to be on the radi

Hi 208!?
it is good to see a site for 208, like UK Radio 1 it played an important part of many people's lives. It will be a hard task to try and recreate the magic of the early days as these things are time and place, mood of the time. Today's radio is weak, the DJ/presenters are dull, modern music is dull, I too can lash a drum loop together and rap over it, that takes zero musical skills! I want character, style and innovation.For some reason I have a telephone number implanted in my brain, I suspect it was the hotline for 208 at 38 Hertford St. 01 493 5961 - I seem to remember banging that into my phone to contact the station. more power to 208!

While sitting here, enjoying a nice beer and listening to Melissa Etheridge on Radio Luxembourg, I forgot to mention one thing in my previous entry on DRM radios. (And I am not writing this just because I am part of the industry): the receivers I mentioned are a very good Idea anyhow for anyone planning a new radio. The sales of non-digital radios nowadays is really a kind of customer betrayal. Everybody in the industry and the politics nows it, but nowbody told the truth to the customers: analog FM will be swtitched off app. 2010 -2012. DAB and DRM will perfectly team up to server radio listeners from then on.

Hello Jörg,
re- your question conc. DRM receivers: first pre-series samples have been shown on th IFA in Berlin. Manufacturers were Sangean, Morphy-Richards and Roberts. All receivers were multi-band and multi-standard. This means that they were able to receive DRM (LW/MW/SW) and DAB (Band III and L-Band) as well as analog AM/FM.
They are supposed to be in the shops during this year christmas campaign. The most expensive one (almost semi-professional) was targeted towards 250 €, which means that we can expect radios in the range below 100 €. Panasonic and Visteon also showed early prototypes of DRM car radios. The introduction timing of these devices are somehow in the responsibility of Panasonic's and Visteon's OEM customers, i.e. Audi, BMW, VW and so on

In the late 50's I too listened to '208' under the bedclothes. I had made a one diode 'crystal' set from a circuit in a magazine, and my Dad made it a varnished wood box. As a teenager I had bought the bits and pieces from the ex-WD radio shops in the Soho and Paddington areas of London, going up by Tube on Saturday mornings, with schoolpals. Little did we know about the 'seamy' side of those parts! However, I did not grow into a Rock and Roll fan - later I listened to Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, and then Bach to Wagner. But, I came across this site from the BBC Radio 3 Proms site this evening!

Stefen, do you think you can arrange to put this jingle into the downloads? Thanks, Wolfram, a.k.a the Ho

Hello Stephen, Thank you for this website in remembering of Radio Luxembourg english service, it was really a great radio. I come from east France (near Metz) and in this part of france we grew up with all stuff of Luxembourg, TV radios. I was fan of 208 espacially from end 70s until end 80s. I could catch it the night on FM at 1.00. because I was not so far of the Grand Duchy. Between the french service (Georges Lang & WRTL) and the english service (208) many nights were for me magical with a lot of crazy music! I would like the coming back of Radio Luxembourg but the time are gone now. It will be never the same as before anyway. The Franch service changed too. But Thank you for this website. I will surely visit it regulary from Munich city where I´m living since 15 years. Best Regards, Cosmos

Hi, I loved listening to Radio Luxembourg as a kid. I lived near Edinburgh in Scotland and struggled to tune in the signal on my portable radio under my bed covers, turned way down low so only I could hear it. There were no other services that ran into the night back then, no 24 hour society so Radio Luxembourg was the place to tune to after dark as it faded in and out. It also played some great music, music you wanted to listen to, not the bad mix of music the national or local stations played to their wide audience range. When the time came I also listened on satellite, who can forget the jingle "Music at the speed of light, from the Astra satellite, Radio Luxembourg"? Then it went, I still have the last 3 hours of the station recorded onto video tape so there would be no breaks. Mike Hollis' last words certainly brought a lump to my throat and when I have listened again, it still does. That was a sad day. Radio, as something unique and special died that day. The world was no longer in awe of radio in my eyes and the television became king. Today, Radio lives on, in the car and in the workplace as background noise or something to kill time to. It just doesnt seem to be the point of focus anymore. It just doesnt seem 'special'. I feel there is a place for Radio Luxemboug, but it isnt now. It is in the very near future. There will soon be digital radio in the Short, Medium and Long wavebands. Offering high quality music over long distances. That is the time Radio Luxembourg should retake to the air as a pioneer for it's owners. Delivering a new music choice for a new millenium to the people of a united Europe. The day it went off air, a brand, an identity was frozen, it soon will be time to thaw the old bird and let it fly once more through the air and into our hearts again. I hope it's owners see the value in the brand, the identity and the legacy of Radio Luxembourg, a station at the very heart of Europe. Hopefully the joy of music will once again flow from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Steve

Hi Stephan, thanx for your wonderful page. I also belong to the generation, that heard 208 in nighttimes with the "transistor radio" (hey, young ones, it was called like that!) under the pillow. the 70's were the decade that was very important for my personality, and 208 were one of my "personal stepstones". sad enough, the closing down of 208 was completely new to me until recently (hey, is he kidding? that was 10 years ago). well, after finishing university, i moved south and also lost touch with my old habbits. then, in 94 a friend told me, how she was influenced by rtl. so we decided to try to tune in once again. the fact, that we did not get any signal, well we blamed it on the geography. (funny that i never wondered why she was able to listen to 208 in switzerland in the 60`s and now transmission near frankfurt shouldn`t be possible ???). anyhow, due to the fact, that the closing down of 208 wasn't a real media issue it took me until recently to find out that something of my personal past is gone forever. once again thanx for your beautiful page. i downloaded "maybe the morning". b

I've got a question: Does anyone know how the charts were compiled? They said it was 'next weeks charts' and sometimes seemed to me like they were tipping the official charts.

Why do you want Radio Luxembourg to come back? History has proven that you can never go back to what once was, any attempt to relive the past will provide nothing but grief. Let's face it, it is a new and different world and any new version of Radio Lueumbourg will never meet your expectations; it will be nothing more than a bastardized version of what was once a great and powerful force in world radio. Let the memories of Radio Luxembourg live on, but quit living in the past. it is time to move on.

Hi Roland. I think i must totaly agree with you. But however 'bad' the new luxy would be - i guess it'll be better than any other format-rubbish we do receive now. It'll never be the same and we do should keep our memories. (Please leave your adr next time!)

Hi there, my name is michael and I live in the near of frankfurt in germany. Like you I was a listener of 208 for years. I remember in january 1992 the program of 208 was away. I started to listen in the early 70´s in anger of the good quality in the evening hours, because the shortwave with the german program was too bad. Luxembourg on fm I do know only from my grandparents in the near of luxembourg. When my family was visiting them I was listen to RTL the whole day (I was only eightyears old). Summer 1978 I was for six weeks at my grandparents. I learned that at one o´clock the english program was also on fm available. I learned also that the music they've played was very(!!) up to date. I was 15 and I was very gifted in RF-technique. Back at home I started some receiving-tests to get luxembourg at my home near frankfurt. With a homemade yagi-antenna under the roof I got first positive results. So I start also to record music and whole shows from 208. So I got a huge of luxy for today.. ;) I learned in this board that there are many people who are looking for older tapes from luxy. Maybe on xmas I have time enough to make mp3 files out of them. So I wish you a merry chrismas! michael

Its obvious now, that any english service in the name of radio luxembourg wont be on air in the next future. the major reasons are: RTL/CLTUFA dont have any business interests to launch another radio program including the big financial risc. RTL/CLTUFA dont have any interests in pushing the contract with Eric Wiltsher to have a quick start. Because they dont care. Its not their product. They are only selling the BRAND. It seems that Mr. Eric Wiltsher published his personal visions much to early. If this was a serious projekt, Mr. Eric Wiltsher published more details and reasons, why he and his partner "CLTUFA" cant be on air yet. there would have been more details on the cltufa.com site, too.

Radio luxembourgs english service back on the air? well, it has been the strong radio competition that killed this service, because "we didnt went with the time..", inofficial quote of the former CLT management. its an open secret, that CLT/UFA focused on atlantic 252 much earlier before the engl service closed down. 252 is still there and making lots of money for ctlufa. a new service/program cant be pushed on the radiomarket with the opinion: "we are the biggest an the best commercial radio station. here is radio luxembourg again. the great 208. the program u were listening in the past." CLT/UFA dropped this service, cause it was not value for them anylonger. it didt make any money anymore. an n o w it does? now, where we have thousands of alternitaves on sat/cable, AM and FM? CLT will publish a new alternative (I hope it will be!)for radio listeners on several media (realaudio/am/sat). this will have nothing to do with former memories. well, maybe in the beginning some listeners will compare this program to the former "208". ...

Found your homepage today and it brought back good memories. I only had one show on Radio Luxembourg that I listened to. It was the Import Top 20 with Tony Prince on Friday night - The Groove Top 20. I loved it because it brought the freshiest dance sounds; records that were almost impossible to buy in Germany. I taped some shows on cassette, but the quality is very very bad with lots of noise around. I am 33 now and listened to that show between 1980 and 1983. Today I am still searching for some of those records when I am in London, but it is very difficult. I also would like to complete the chart listings. Every time I listened I wrote down the ranking but I missed many shows. So maybe someone out there did the same and still has those results somewhere ? Would be fabulous.

One of the programs is the top twenty with that sweet talking guy, Stuart Grundy. I will have to check and see what else is on it. The reception is very good.

Radio Luxembourg, fuer England, fing ja erst abends an. Damals, vor der Einfuehrung der Sommerzeit in Deutschland, mit einer Stunde Unterschied zwischen Sommer und Winter. Wir warteten mit unseren ersten Transistorradios, drehten sie so, und wieder so fuer den besten Empfang, und liefen dann nachts durch die Strassen mit Radio Luxembourg. Der Qualitaetstest eines jeden Radios war wie der "Luxembourger" hereinkam. Zu meiner Zeit gab es ja ausser Radio Luxembourg kaum Sender die die neuesten Hits aus USA und England (Cliff Richard war ganz gross!) spielten. AFN waehrend gewisser Stunden, sonst kaum einer.

I am pleased to see a page on Luxembourg. The English service entertained me from the mid 1970s onwards, when I first started to listen to 208. I must say that I have never found a station with a real 'feelgood factor', as that posessed by Luxy. Here in Britain, radio has become ever more stagnant and boring. Playlists are narrow, presenters have no personality and local radio is dreadful. I have great memories of Luxembourg. Whilst at school in the late 1970s, I was addicted to the Rob Jones early evening show, with the characters and phone calls. Brilliant competitions at the time, which no British station could match, like 'Where In The World'. Nightly charts were great, Beatles Hours, and Powerplays, where 208 would play all the latest releases before Radio 1 in Britain. And to top it all - great DJ's. Really I could go on and on. If Rob Jones or anyone who knows him reads this page, ask him why he does not present anymore. He was a talented presenter, who I believe has worked in various

Hi Fellow 208 fans! I used to listen to 208 in the early 80s and more recently realised a lifelong ambition by working myself on Radio in Luxembourg. OK it wasn`t quite Radio Luxembourg itself, but near enough... it was actually one of the smaller local FM stations that started up after 208 was closed down. I am writing my university dissertation about Radio Luxembourg and am looking for posters, photos, adverts, magazines, recordings etc that might be of help. If any collectors reading this would be kind enough to send me photocopies or tapes of some of their treasures, I would be happy to pay back the costs involved. I don`t really have any 208 memorabilia that I could send in return but I do have some stickers and tapes from Programme Europe 2 / Radio WAKY 107FM Luxembourg from 97/98 and of course, I could offer things currently available in England.

I remember listening to R Luxembourg when I was at school. In particular, I used to enjoy the "Wild and Wooley and Wonderful" Mark Wesely. Does anybody have a recording of Luxy closing down for the night back in the seventies. They used to play a song which began "Maybe the morning will find the sun shining" followed by the Luxembourg National Anthem. I would love to hear it again. Hearing the Luxembourg National Anthem on the RTL oldies station on MW the other day brought the memories flooding back.

Very nice, probably the best 208 site!!! I was a fan of the station for 20–25 years, listening to it daily. My fave deejays were Jack Jackson (the best of them all – with that well-known Decca Records signature and singing ”Oooooh It’s Saturday”, if it wasn’t Monday, of course) and Sam Costa (with sound of pouring drink and song ”Sam’s song” as theme for his ”Night caps”), both deceased. Add to ”early” and ”60’s” in your presentation of the dj’s. Alan Freeman’s ”Pops til Midnight”, ”Midnight with Matthew” (Brian M.) and Jimmy Young’s ”Miss you-messages” were other programmes I regularly listened to. Don Moss (got a signed photo of him), Keith Fordyce and Pete Murray were other favourites. Also worth a mention are greats like Chris Denning, David Symonds, Katie Boyle (”Friday Night, Saturday Morning with...), Peter Aldersley, Alan Dell (Ý) with late night jazz, Tony Hall, Mike Raven (Ý), Dwight Wylie. I also remember someone called The Baron. If you remember them and have nostalgia to share – mail me!

Hey! It's just so great to see yet another Radio Luxembourg site. I listened to the greates station on earth from 1989 'til the closedown in 1992. I maybe have some things you can use. First of all i have some DJ photos, but they're the same ones that you have published. When the radio was on air, a friend of mine and myself, called the station up nearly everytime Chris Holmes was on. I don't know why, but we just did. We also send some faxes to Chris, and did get a few back from him. I have a drawning made by Chris Holmes, a self portrait !?! Also we have a television program from the BBC. A program about the closedown of 208. In 1995 we've visited Luxembourg to see the old studios, but we could'nt get in. But we took some pictures of the BIG CLT building in Kirschberg and some of the grand dux palace. If you E-mail back to me we could find out of something. Again GREAT SITE. Sjak (Denmark)

Greetings! Great to see your site. With regard to the books about Luxembourg, I have one called Radio Luxembourg 1979, full of pictures and info about the station and D.J's. It was given to me in 1988 by a pen-friend who I aquired through the Luxembourg International service pen pal request programme. Now, given that there clearly still exists an international fan base for the station, surely it is possible for the supporters of the station to be organised in order to put the station back on the air. I know it seems along way away at the moment, but I believe that if enough people were involved it could be done. I am thinking particularly with the advances in Internet audio, and indeed the fact that the new Digital Cable T.V. decoders will feature FREE Internet access in the UK. I have some experience of involvement in the radio scene in the UK, having presented various types of programmes on local Pirate stations over the past 8 years. I am quite sure it is possible. Of course I do not know exactly who owns the rights to use the name Radio Luxembourg, so that might be a problem, though not an insurmountable one. As I say, I actually believe it is possible to put Radio Luxembourg back on the air. What do you think?
