- Radio Luxembourg – most British
musicians of the 1950s
were heard over Radio Luxembourg's famous 208
metres wavelength on the AM medium
wave band before the advent of FM
stereo radio broadcasting in Europe. The airtime on this station which
only broadcast to Britain after dark, was mainly sold in blocks to
programme sponsors, many of which were the major record companies of
the day. These record programmes played excerpts of records to promote
for resale, but because the BBC was restricted by needle
time, the major hits of the day were always heard first over Radio
Luxembourg.
