Right-wing Danish radio station refuses to go off the airRight-wing Danish radio station Radio Holger is continuing to broadcast despite having its licence suspended last week. The Documentation and Counselling Centre for Racial Discrimination recently filed a complaint against the station, and the Radio and Television Board (RTB) followed up by requesting a copy of the broadcast in question. The station did not comply, so its licence was suspended. Radio Holger says it will only obey an order to stop broadcasting if it comes from a court. Radio Holger broadcasts on a shared, public access frequency, making an immediate shut down of the station impossible. “Unfortunately if we pull the plug on them, other stations that are broadcasting legally will also be shut off,” said Christian Scherfig, chairman of RTB. ‘We could possibly seize the equipment through an injunction. Our legal advisor is investigating the possibility.” RTB has since reported Radio Holger to the police, who will probably fine the station and possibly confiscate its broadcasting equipment. Station spokesperson Kaj Wilhelmsen says, if that happens, they will move broadcasts to the Internet.
