📖 Radio Northsea UK About

Radio Northsea International (RNI) emerged in 1970, backed by Swiss investors through Mebo AG, filling the void left by earlier pirate radio stations. Broadcasting from the purpose-built ship *Mebo II* off the coast of Scheveningen, Netherlands, RNI targeted the Netherlands and Belgium with Dutch-language programming, while also delivering English-language shows to the UK. DJs like Larry Tremaine, Alan West, Roger Day, and Spangles Muldoon became popular with UK listeners. The *Mebo II* was equipped with a powerful transmitter and sophisticated studio equipment, ensuring a strong signal and professional sound. RNI's programming featured a mix of popular music, news, and advertising, focused on Top 40 hits. In May 1971, the *Mebo II* was bombed, allegedly by competitors associated with Radio Veronica, which increased publicity.
