The Mighty KBC

August 31, 2024!!!
Today is the last day for The Mighty KBC on DAB+.

Because we have our headquarters outside the EU, we have been refused a license extension, despite the fact that we have been broadcasting on DAB+ for almost 10 years and pay all taxes here.

But from December 1, KBC Radio will be heard on AM 891 kHz.

Just enjoy today:
10:00 – 11:00 The Salty Hour – Marc van Amstel & Bob van Beeten
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM The last hour of Veronica and the North Sea
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM The Salty Hour – Marc van Amstel & Bob van Beeten (repeat)
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM Wind force 6 to 7 – Music from the time of the offshore radio stations

Enjoy real radio!

If propagation isn’t favorable where you live, consider tuning to 6095 kHz on Sunday via the University Twente WebSDR.
