Don't know much about RDS but when I tune to Hot the TP flag lights up on my tuner.

Their scrolling RDS has gone a bit weird too, it says the station name then a load of garbage afterwards.

It might be this one from down south:

Sting back on this evening here in Stereo with scrolling RDS, good signal where I am.

Some garage / D&B very weak on 90.2 as well, is that City Beats back on their previous freq?

Thanks for the uploads, they will keep me busy! I still have a soft spot for UK radio - I lived in Bilston in the mid-late 90s and the postcode of the address they gave out was only a digit away from mine. I have a vague memory of phoning into the bogus jobseeker's show once and winning a CD single ...

Heard it tonight - not that strong here but listenable (NE birmingham)

Very faint drum n bass here (erdington) - I am fairly high up as well so not surprised it's not reaching other parts of birmingham

Thanks - I couldn't get the East Mids mix FM but did start listening when they set up in birmingham

Noticed you are stronger in Birmingham this week. Was listening in the car driving round Erdington and Perry Barr at the weekend - it cut out occasionally but was strong enough for the car radio to stop on search and bring up the RDS.

It's a bit older than 93/94 but I think you are looking for Little Little - Tickle Me:
