Hi, we are a Tribute Site to the legendary off shore pirate station Laser 558. The station primarily plays lot's of 80s from the era the station ran but have recently widened the playlist dramatically. We are looking for US / Canadian presenters who can submit weekly shows to air.

Laser 558 started in 1984 broadcasting in the AM Band from a ship in the North Sea called the MV Communicator. It brought a new lease of life to the UK causing mayhem for the authorities and shaking up the bland, dull UK radio industry. The DJ's we're all US / Canadian providing a slick sounding pop station with the strap line, "your never more than a minute away from the music". The DJ's had short voice links every 2 or 3 tracks as the format focused on music from the chart and some oldies mixed in.

For more information about Laser 558's past go here

Go here to listen to some original recordings:

What we are looking for:


  • US Bill Board Top 20 show
  • General CHR / AC Formatted shows with short links with at least 4 80's songs per hour
  • CHR / AC 80s Show 1 or 2 Hours
  • Sixties Sunday 2 Hour Show

Requirements:

*US/Canadian voice with natural sounds, not too much 'Jocky'

*One or more shows per week

The Laser 558 Tribute stream will also be airing shows to Europe / USA via Shortwave from Spring 2103 so a good opportunity to get some fan mail from around the world.

No live shows yet, must be pre-recorded to 320kb MP3. Live shows will be available when we start Shortwave transmissions in the Spring.

If you are interested, please email info@laser558.eu explaining your programme idea and if possible some a short recording of your voice. No unedited shows, we want to hear YOU!

Hope to hear from you, ;)

I'm just old enough to remember Laser (and Caroline occupying 558 afterwards!) and that brings back some memories. it would certainly be good to hear the old Laser format (way better than UK radio of that time, but not quite as frantic / with forced humour as the pace of some of todays radio shows) with modern sound quality 8)
