It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.
Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.
Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.
It’s really, really hard to get a licence to broadcast in the uk, so there’s really very few radio stations that reflect modern music tastes outside of large city centres
I still listen to radio, however its almost all online radio.
Modern Pop, 2000’s Pop, 90’s Pop, 80’s Pop, just really don’t interest me or anyone else in my family, however its the vast majority of the radio.
Soma FM for me.
I listen to Radio Fip from France, that’s pretty fantastic
