The legendary offshore station
The original Radio North Sea International was run by Mebo Telecommunications, a Swiss company owned by engineer Edwin Bollier and his business partner Erwin Meister. It broadcast from the ship MV Mebo II in international waters in the North Sea from 23 January 1970 to 31 August 1974, reaching listeners in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and beyond with English and Dutch programmes. Its brightly painted ship, powerful transmitters and memorable jingles made it a legend among radio fans, and it remains part of the story of how offshore radio changed broadcasting in Europe. Today the station lives on online as a tribute.
What you will hear
RNI's tribute service plays the music of the offshore era and beyond: sixties and seventies pop, rock and soul, along with classic jingles and recreations of the original station's sound. Live shows run every evening and on Sundays from 2pm to 11pm, presented by DJs with a love for radio history, and between them the playlist keeps the classic hits flowing. It is a nostalgic treat for anyone who remembers tuning in to the pirates, and a fascinating listen for radio enthusiasts.
