Atlantic 252 radio station

[DustyLee123]

For those of us old enough to remember this radio station, it’s back and available on an app.
Playing 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. It’s a blast from the past for me!

I remember it felt like they had about 10 songs on a loop and were always playing 'The Winds of Change' by The Scorpions😁. Luckily I loved that song!

I listened to this constantly! Thanks OP!

Thanks OP! Ive just downloaded it - this was the only station we could get on the radio in the late 90s and noughties so its a real nostagia for me - was so upset when it stopped

I presume they are still playing 'all bound for Mumu land' (or whatever its called) on a loop.

Have you listened to the podcast about that song? There's a conspiracy theory that it was written by the CIA! The podcast is really good!

'I listen to longwave radio Atlantic 252' has to the be answer, no matter what the question.

OMG! Thank you. Listened to this in the family capri!

Is it available on DAB?

Atlantic 252 is the reason Hold On by Wilson Phillips is engraved on my brain.

Wow! Memories of sharing a room with my sister and doing my art homework listening to this station!

I remember trying to record songs from this station even though I could never really get good reception! Loved it! I had loads of tapes with a mix of background noise, static and the sound of the play and record buttons being pressed at the same time followed by a scratchy song! Those were the days!

Ah, loved this! We were allowed the radio on in art lessons at school and that was the only station we could get. All the presenters had names like Holly Wood and Robin Banks!

God yeah, loved that station back in the day.

Winds of change yup loved it.

Oh gosh I was remembering this just last week! Memories of driving through Scotland in 1994 with my cousin and the only radio station we could get in his old school mini was Atlantic 252 with Cotton Eye Joe on loop!!

They placed Ace of Base and those guys with the beards? repeatedly...

They're justified and they're aaaaancient. Loved KLF, what a blast from the past!

Wow, I don't think I've thought about this for 20 years, brilliant, thanks!

Dusty Rhodes was another one!

So weird! I was just reminiscing about this with friends the other day - for us, it was 'Dirty Cash' by the Adventures of Stevie V, and 'Male Stripper' by Man 2 Man Meets Man Parrish that was on perma-repeat.

Oh I used to live Atlantic 252! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

And they drive an ice cream van!!!

I remember the Divinyls 'I touch myself' playing a lot too. My sister and I used to sing it into pretend mics, no idea how suggestive it was.

Rick Oshea is still around, runs a book club group on FB, reviews books, interviews authors etc too. His description of the studio makes me laugh, wasn't quite what I pictured back in the day!!

Thank you!
Never was I officially asked "What's the phrase that pays?" Very sad 😔

Oh happy memories of listening to Atlantic 252 on the Ford Escort car radio. They did a drive time thing called 'drop everything (round your ankles!)' Remember them playing The Las & so many other early 90s classics. I'll definitely be listening.
