History
Radio 10 1988-1990
On 4 April 1988, the station started broadcasting under the same name Radio 10. Radio 10 was an initiative of former
Radio 10 Gold rebranding, takeover by Arcade
On 15 August 1990 the station was taken over by the Arcade Group and the name was changed to Radio 10 Gold. The main theme of the new station was "oldies", which formerly Radio 10 had success with on Sundays. Dutch commercial radio was now permitted and Radio 10 transmitted to the north of the Netherlands through a so-called "residual frequency". These are frequencies that were not, or not yet, in use by public broadcasting. In 1994 Gold Radio 10 MW was assigned the 675 kHz. frequency. The Arcade group expanded its activities in this period with the stations
During the 90s Radio 10 Gold broadcast on 675 kHz medium wave from a high powered transmitter. It could be heard in many places in the UK and the rest of Europe, particularly at night. However it had to give up the frequency to Arrow Classic Rock, which only used that frequency for a short while. Radio 10 Gold then broadcast on 1395 kHz but not for long. They then used 1008 kHz, again only for a short while, before getting the frequency of 828 kHz. This was not as powerful as 675 or 1008 kHz.
Broadcasting on FM 103; Name change into Radio 10 FM and Talpa
In 1998 publisher took Wegener's entertainment company Arcade over, which belonged Radio 10 Gold. On January 1, 1999, received a Gold Radio 10 FM frequency -the 103 MHz and later that year the name was changed to Radio 10 FM. Within the program were later hits a more prominent place than before. Partly for this reason that the slogan used to date "De grootste hits aller tijden" (English: The greatest hits of all time). The other two stations of Arcade were divested.
In February 2003 Talpa Radio International brought an enterprise of
Return to Gold, AM frequencies and RTL
After the disappearance on the FM frequencies and the failed deal with Sky Radio Ltd., Talpa had substantial cut in the workforce and Radio 10 was forced to move into the studios of sister station Noordzee FM. Exactly a month after the loss of 103 FM could Talpa Radio 10 ("gold" instead of "FM") hire an AM frequency of the former owner. Radio 10 Gold would use this wavelength until 1 August 2004.
In June 2004 Talpa Radio knew license for AM 1008 kHz, 298 m from Radio London to take over and to receive from the end of July 2004 was Radio 10 Gold in the Netherlands and abroad at this wavelength. Additionally sent Radio 10 Gold via cable and now also via the internet and ASTRA (satellite).
In December 2005 Radio 10 Gold aired for the first time the
In 2006 and 2007 included the following DJs connected to the station: Jos van Heerden, Peter Holland, Peter Rijsenbrij and Thorvald de Geus. In 2005 also was Albert Verlinde attracted to a show section. The station lost in this period Dave Donkervoort to 100% NL and weatherman Jan Visser in cuts, while Tom Mulder had to thank for health reasons.
Not long after the departure of the weatherman several employees had left the company, Talpa there on 5 March 2007 announced to have to cut back considerably. A combination of high costs for the use of the frequency and disappointing advertising revenues brought the mother company to these procedures. Again, the transmitter had to switch to more recent music, hoping to attract more advertisers, but also make room for hours of non-stop music to reduce costs. In mid-2007 Talpa sold a sister station of Radio 10 (538) to RTL Nederland and they even decided to waive the AM frequency, by selling it to GrootNieuwsMedia BV.[6] At that time the station was only listen through cable, Internet, satellite and DVB-T (coded only to subscribers of KPN's Digitenne), although Talpa also experimented briefly with FMeXtra, a technique that uses the remaining capacity on the FM band.
On 5 January 2010 it was announced that Radio 10 Gold had been sold to
Radio 10, the return on FM
On 2 August 2013, Radio 10 Gold returned on the FM band nationally as Radio 10 after a deal between the
Because negotiations were still ongoing at all Radio 10 Gold remained until 23 September 2013 broadcast on 828 AM. On FM frequencies was in the meantime to hear all non-stop version of Radio 10.[8][9]
Due to the cooperation between Talpa (which consist of Radio 538 and SLAM! at that time) and the
Racism critique
Dutch artist Toon has presented a satirical Carnaval song named 'Voorkomen is beter dan Chinezen' (Prevention is better than Chinese people) on national radio channel Radio 10. Which includes lyrics such as "We don't need the virus in our country, it is all caused by these stinking Chinese people" and "It will be in the fried rice soon. Don't eat Chinese food". After many complaints against the radio channel and radio DJ Lex Gaarthuis, formal apologies has been made on both accounts. A petition has been made in protest of racism against Chinese and other people of Asian descent named Wij zijn geen virussen (We are not viruses), which was signed 12,000 times within a day. The radio show host has not seen any punishment despite the petitions that were sent.[12]
