Great that there's still a copy of that lurking about, must have a listen. A sad time. The following day, at about noon, the AM transmitter was closed down, with the loss of satelite a few weeks later. On the positive side, what a credit to what Ray, Mike, Roger et al created, that Big L survives to this day. Many names and faces have changed, but the passion remains.

Yes, that was a very sad day indeed. I remember I was washing the car for my parents on this sunny and hot day in July and meanwhile I was listening to Big L and heard Steve's last show. Didn't know then that AM 1395 would go off air the next day. A real loss for the music in the Netherlands, a real black hole. Since there wasn't any other station playing good music (and still isn't, except Eric's rocking KBC)

Well I have always saved the last recording from Steve and listen to it from time to time. So excellent music he played in that last hour.

Thanks for bringing back the memories from those days Debbs!

That was for sure a great shame that Big L had to close. I used to listen every day to most of the daytime shows. Ray, Mike and Steve made it a special station that if managed differently could have succeeded. If only they could have been on another frequency and not shut down 7 to 10pm.
When you think about it carefully they had a good formula but not the right leadership ?

Many thanks for sharing these hours Chris! good job buddy. I didn't have the first hour yet :)

Nice one Chris! Downloading now.
