Fresh suspends live broadcasts
2:08pm Thursday 27th March 2008
Troubled Fresh Radio suspended its live broadcasting for part of last week.
Instead, the Skipton-based radio station played a continuous loop of music, fuelling speculation about financial difficulties.
Earlier this month, a winding-up order for Fresh Radio Ltd was announced in the London Gazette, but Laser Broadcasting, which bought the station last year, said a new company had been formed and there was no question of it going off air.
Operations director Stuart Linnell blamed last week's problems on technical difficulties.
He said: "We have had some technical issues, but they should all be behind us now.
"As part of our switch from AM to FM at Fresh we are reviewing all our technical and transmitter arrangements and facilities with a view to ensuring that issues like this do not cause us a problem long-term."

Such matters should be immediately reported to the appropriate authority, Ofcom and the company should be made to hand over the licence to somebody that knows how to tun a radio station properly.
They clearly are out of money and the 'setting up of new companies' would appear to be a way of simply not paying heir debts to local, well-meaning businesses.
Its outrageous!
