Digital station United DJs has added the Portsmouth small-scale DAB multiplex to its transmission areas this weekend.
An official launch was held at an event on the Isle of Wight with presenter Mike Read in attendance. He hosted his breakfast show and a Saturday afternoon show live from the Jack Up The 80s Festival on the island.
Jack Up the 80s was a three-day event at the Smallbrook Stadium just outside Ryde, Isle of Wight. This year’s guests included T’Pau, Toyah, Leo Sayer, Shakatak, Shalamar, Brother Beyond, Chesney Hawkes, Martin Kemp, Jaki Graham and the Motown Revue.
Broadcaster/DJ Pat Sharp and Wave 105’s Steve Power were also hired by the event to provide DJ sets.
