Hopefully you've been practicing on your gaiety so that the scallies will still get their homophobic fun by calling you a puff for the thousandth time when you replace peter?

So nobody listened to Atlantic 252 on Long wave?
It's all about the content not the delivery system.
Build it and they will come sayeth I.
From now on you can listen to the previous weeks shows from 1476.
For instance the shows from 6th of April will be available to listen again until the 19th of April when the shows from the 13th of April will be available. You can listen again by going to http://1476.co.nr I may make them available at http://wnkr.co.nr but not straight away. The Normal live streams will continue at the usual times in high quality 48kbps AAC+ stereo, the listen again streams are only 32kbps mp3.
Thanks, Dave.
I'm not going to mention that a station written off by so many when it started is today celebrating it's third birthday.
And what do the most important people think?

We're having a HAPPY BIRTHDAY daring to do something creative and different in radio – mind you the DJs know how to entertain listeners which is a major factor in the equation.

Congratuations!
Can you outline briefly why you regard it as a success?
Is it that it makes lots of money for the owner? Is it that it serves to promote the owner's influence in Slovakia and beyond? Or is its success based upon less tangible factors such as innovation and the support of its listeners?

I would say a combination of two.
Owners of radio should never assume they gain influence from a station, some think they do and they are so wrong, IMHO. As it goes the Chairman goes to places like 10 Downing Street because of other things, not RTI.
Yes a station does need to get commercials, but equally it needs to respect its listeners and where possible support them.
I think innovation is maybe difficult to judge – there's not really much that is new in radio ideas, just polishing things. Adapting to new delivery platforms could be innovation I guess – I'd prefer to say it is seeing what the audience is doing and making it as easy as possible for that audience to access the station.
I know it's not a definitive answer, but I believe there are no fixed rules or answers. Todays answers are tomorrows history and so the flow continues. Radio has to evolve continually or it will go down the tubes.
Thanks for the congrats
Off to prep for 8.00pmCET – And I'll share it's almost as nerve racking as three years ago :-)

I'm going to be trying out some new techniques including giving away copies of The Sun. Do you think that'll make Liverpudlians love me?
So nobody listened to Atlantic 252 on Long wave?
Not once the same content was freely available on FM, no.
