  Radio Luxembourg
Radio Luxembourg (1933 - 1992) was an important forerunner of pirate radio and modern commercial radio in Europe.
Luxembourg was special, because while radio stations all over Europe were exclusively government-owned and operated well into the 1980s, Radio Luxembourg was right from the beginning privately owned.
The transmitter of Radio Luxembourg is situated in Marnach.

In 1950 he went to Luxembourg to become a resident on 208 and in a short space of time was undisputed as Europe's Number One d.j.
He breaks one of the unwritten rules of modern pop radio that all d.j.'s should be as young as their audience--he makes no secret of the fact that he is in his middle fifties, yet somehow (and this is his secret) puts out shows as lively as anyone half his age.

In a world of extraordinary radio choice, it is difficult thinking back to those pre-pirates and pre Radio One days, to the joy and satisfaction that Radio Luxembourg brought to the younger generation of the early sixties.

Alan 'Fluff' Freeman was already a radio announcer (and occasional singer) in Melbourne, when, in 1957, he took a holiday in the UK that stretched into a broadcasting career lasting more than forty years.
His voice, the vocal equivalent of a twinkle in the eye, was first heard on Radio Luxembourg, but in 1960 he joined the BBC Light Programme to present 'Records Around Five' - on which he introduced his trademark 'At The Sign Of The Swinging Cymbal' theme - and, occasionally, 'Housewives' Choice'.
His perennial association with chart-based shows through the ensuing decades, whether on Radio 1, London's Capital Radio or Virgin Radio, overshadowed his tireless championing of heavy metal, as well as a lifelong love of classical music that in 1997 found an outlet on Radio 2, where 'Pick Of The Pops' was also revived.
