European Music Radio has been broadcasting since the 1970's. Here is
some information as to why the station was started, as well as notable
events during it's history.

________________________________

EMR's return

In 1986, Bob Tomalski restarted EMR, and programmes returned on the 46
and 48 metre bands. Transmitter power at this time was 30 watts, and
programmes continued until 1987. EMR was again silent until 1996, when
EMR returned with a 120-watt transmitter, and for the first time, live
programmes were aired from the studio.

In 1997, EMR's programmes were broadcast either from the UK or Holland
on either one of the 31, 41 or 48 metre bands, until 2002. Transmitter
power during this period ranged from 35 to 150 watts.

Legal Broadcasting

In 2002 something strange happened. EMR ceased being a "pirate" radio
station, and became a legal broadcaster. The station however, remains
a true Free Radio Station.

EMR began it's legal broadcasts via the facilities of the Italian
Radio Relay Service in Milano, Italy. As EMR was now using a legal
transmitter, the power increased significantly. Now instead of
broadcasting with just a few watts on short wave, EMR was now
broadcasting with several Kilowatts of power. Broadcasts via the IRRS
were on either 13840 khz or 5775 khz.

Broadcasts from Latvia and Italy

EMR used the broadcast facilities of KREBS TV in Ulbroka, Latvia in
the early part of the millenium along with the facilities of IRRS in
Milano, Italy. Broadcasting with a transmitter power of 100 kW, with a
directional antenna covering Western Europe on 8000 khz from Ulbroka,
and on 5775 and 13840 khz with an omni-directional antenna from
Milano, EMR could be heard easily throughout Europe on a hand-held SW
receiver, and further afield.

Many of our latter broadcasts on the Latvian 9290 transmitter were
broadcast live and we also introduced our internet service which
allowed people to tune in and hear our programmes in stereo. EMR was
one of the last stations to use the KREBS-TV transmitter on 9290, with
our last broadcast taking place on that frequency on December 21st
2008. For more information on the KREBS-TV transmitter, and a few
pictures of the antenna and the transmitter itself, check out the
transmitters page.

Broadcasts from Germany

Currently EMR broadcasts pre-recorded programmes from Germany on
6140Khz, again with 100 Kilowatts of power. All programmes are
simulcast on our internet service and regular repeats are available on
the internet.
