I have just registered here on the Paphos Life forum and would like to add some comments regarding Sunshine and others.
The 94.4 station is as has been mentioned called My Radio Art. They are a Limassol based station (in fact I can walk to their studio from where I live) although they use several transmitter sites to cover different cities. I'm not sure if they are Cypriot or Russian owned but pretty sure they are not an English owned station. Their playlist I would call 'alternative', you may have other ideas but their playlist is completely different to that of Sunshine so you cannot really compare. We are no doubt targeting different markets and demographics!
Regards re-branding this is nothing more than an option on the table and has not really been discussed as yet, at least while there are still ongoing legal issues surrounding the station and it's former director.
Re adverts, I'm afraid this is how most all commercial stations are funded that is unless you have owners with deep pockets and or other revenue streams to allow you to run without them. It is a business after all and operating expenses are not insignificant.
The only exceptions to the above are BFBS who broadcast from RAF Acrotiri AFAIK and being UK tax payer funded do not carry commercial advertising.
Bob,
I obtained permission a couple of years ago to add a re-broadcast transmitter at Drousha to cover Polis, Latchi and surrounding areas. I am moving this up the list of priority's as soon as things settle down.
Amos,
It's unlikely you'll hear us in Zygi as Mix FM shares the very same frequency (90.8) here in Limassol broadcasting from the Fassoula transmitter point like the majority of the local stations.
Phil,
As we do not have access to the original website or social media platforms we have a new holding page at:
http://www.sunshineradiopaphos.com/
You can click on our stream link from this page also. We are designing a completely new website which will go live as soon as possible this together with new Facebook and Twitter pages. We are aware there is still music being streamed at the former website but there is no link to the FM transmitter. This is now completely under the new managements control, myself and my colleagues.
I am also intending to improve our signal coverage of Paphos & beyond but this all takes time.
Stay tuned.
David
