Radio Luxembourg

Radio Luxembourg is a commercial radio station on Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM). Established in 2005, it has broadcast in many languages in conjunction with a television service operated from Luxembourg. History Radio Luxembourg in English from 1933 to 1939 and from 1946 to 1992 was an important forerunner of modern commercial radio in the United Kingdom. It was an effective way to advertise products by circumventing British broadcasting restrictions that were in place at the time. The English-language station, which broadcast from the Grand Duchy, closed down at the end of 1992. DRM service In 2005, the parent RTL company stated that the AM transmissions would not resume but that a full-time English service (initially a co-operation between CLT-Ufa and Aquilaine Radio) would begin on Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM). During August of that year, the parent operating company of Radio Luxembourg conducted digital test broadcasts to the UK on 7145 kHz using DRM. This culminated in the soft re-launch of Radio Luxembourg in English at 07:00 BST on 12 September 2005.
