Default Long Wave Radio...Atlantic 252.....Anyone Remember....?

i used to listen to this all the time when i was younger...teens.. I loved it, was very repetitive but it played the songs i liked at the time. I always wished it was in FM tho

Does anyone remember it and more to the point what happened to it? It was the other day i was sick of flicking form channel to channel on FM i put Virgin on...nowt on there so i put LW and some reason LW radio Atlantic 252 popped in my head. Tuned in and its some dull irish radio or something...sounded like it was being broadcast from the moon it was BAD...

Anyone know?

Had Djs like: Rick 'o' Shay(spl) etc
