Mersey 106.7 - Mersey 106.7

Mersey 106.7

KCR's transmitter on 106.7 was turned off around lunchtime on Thursday, 27 November 2008.

Broadcasting began on 106.7 again on Thursday, 22 January 2009, under the new name "Mersey 106.7 - Great Songs for Liverpool".

On Wednesday 1 April 2009, the licence for Mersey 106.7 was officially revoked. This unprecedented move was initially announced back in December 2008 but has taken nearly four months to be put into action. Programmes went out as normal until after the 4pm news, when the song Breaking up is hard to do by Neil Sedaka was broadcast. Then it went to dead air.

It is as yet unknown whether or not Ofcom will re-advertise the Knowsley license.
