I can open their webside - but have no sound - maybe stream is not yet on (?)
Yes-Alec- it IS. I have added it to my presets on my UNDOK app for my Roberts iStream 3 radio- so it must be on all the radio apps.
Its basically saying ‘ This is a test transmission from Boom Radio- and various of the presenters have recorded little sound clips- including David Hamilton.

Great news Alec. Now lets see how they get n. I think what they’re are going to provide stands a good chance of being really successful. I certainly hope so. Keep listening!
A few days into Boom there are a few salient facts to consider. The co-founder David Lloyd when interviewed on the BBC Media Show said that he needed to raise 30 million to launch the station. Its a huge sum- and I don’t think you can just ‘ buy’ a station by acquiring pas presenters from the BBC and ILR stations. For example- do you listen to a station purely on the strength of the particular presenter? I have found the output a bit patchy. Its like a station that doesn’t really know where its coming from or where its going to. Having said that they certainly seem to have picked up some major advertisers like KFC.National Lottery, Sky TV,Asda,Tesco etc. To us aficionados its probably the most adventurous in the presentation of ‘ Boomer’ radio to the masses. I expect Boom Radio to develop and change over the coming months. I am certainly bombarding them with suggestions! And if it is a success ? Well there’s always Bauer or Global or News International waiting in the wings to ‘snap it up’ !!!!
