RTI commemorates passing of UK Marine Offences Act

Radio Tatras International, RTI,
is to commemorate the day in August 1967 when radio in the UK became state controlled again!

RTI is a pan-European / international radio station in English and Slovak. Listeners from around Europe, and the world via the internet, will be able to hear this special tribute programme on Sunday 14 August starting at 1700 UTC.

Eric Wiltsher, Director, RTI UK, commented: "When I speak to people around Europe there is the feeling that radio in western Europe, specifically the UK, was always free. Furthermore, when I explained the existence and banning of offshore station they are horrified – most asking ‘what did you do about it?’. On Sunday 14 August, starting at 1700 UTC, we’ll aim to explain that story and the beginning of the fight for commercial radio in the UK – not forgetting the music of the time, we’ll be very 1960’s just for one night only".
