The Story So Far.........


(This is a very brief version of events)

The station started off broadcasting around 1993 on 89.6 serving the local area (around 10 miles) with Drum & Bass/ Hardcore playing tunes like Champion sound, Valley of the shadows, Renegade terrorist etc. The operating hours were inconsistent to say the least, but the listener base was massive. The first mobile phones were in use (if you can call them mobile!) and the phone's didn't stop ringing. About 2 years later Freedom started broadcasting more london wide operating at first on 105 FM and for a longer period on 90 FM.. The music policy was Drum & Bass all the way with tracks like Set speed, Angles, Quest etc.

About August 1996 broadcasting ceased for reasons that were out of our hands. It took about 8 months for us to re-emerge on 107.3FM now playing Garage/House as well. This at the time was probably one of the best if not the best frequencies on the dial and is where Freedom got most of it's recognition from.
The broadcasting footprint was massive reaching around a 60 mile radius of London & the surrounding counties. Calls were being received from High Wycombe (Far West of London) to Southend (Essex Far East of London). Obviously this sort of broadcasting does not last forever and it wasn't too long until we were stopped in out tracks by you know who!

Other frequencies that we have broadcast on are 106.6 FM, 91.55 FM, 94 FM, 87.7 FM 107.1 FM. As you can see finding a stable place to go on the dial at the moment is one of the biggest problems for most pirates. Many slots are being taken over by low powered local stations ruining some of Londons best clear frequencies.

*The station has now been off for 5 years, hopefully one day it will return!*
