Making Waves, a Tribute to Atlantic 252.
25 years ago this past Monday, a national commercial radio station was born. With millions of listeners every day in Europe, Atlantic 252 came from Ireland. In fact it was from a little place called County Meath, with a population of 5 thousand people, it has 26 pubs, and was made famous by the movie Brave Heart.
But Mornington House in County Meath was the home of Atlantic 252. Its format predominantly focused upon chart music of the late 80's and 90's and was broadcast on longwave.
This week on the Music Machine, we'll be paying tribute to Atlantic 252 which closed on 20 December 2001. We'll hear music from the late 80's and 90's. I've been through a good amount of Atlantic's output, and have chosen songs which you may remember if you heard the station. In addition, you'll hear extracts of shows you may remember and the jingles too. Who remembers the top 90 of 90, and people winning thousands of pounds on "Pay to Play"!
If you'd like to request a song from the 80's or 90's, do email brian@the-bell.net or tweet @brianhartgen. There were lots of good songs in the charts during those decades, so please do let me have your suggestions and I'll mix them in with the Atlantic favourites!
I hope you can join me for another radio special only on The Bell, Saturday 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK.

Best wishes:
Brian
