I have just found amongst my old collection of tapes atlantic 252 first official tx 1-9-89
I haven't added it to the page, but the one thing I remember most about Atlantic 252 was the fact that, at least in later years, they played music at a much higher pitch than normal. This practice has been adopted by other stations but 252 initially drew my attention to it. Karsini 00:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- This is true, I believe the practice of upping the pitches to get through the songs quicker originated with Atlantic (some songs were really badly affected by this) but I can't source it anywhere online so it can't go in the article unfortunately. It is true that other stations have copied the idea but its far less obvious now than it used to be. NKTP 23:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
The station was at the time popular on the West coast of Wales > at the time coverage by UK FM stations was very poor so the inferior quality of LW didnt matter much. Dont think that is relevent to the article though.
Didn't the quality of LW and fewer radios being produced with LW not contribute to the decline of 252? Does this deserve a mention? PMBO 12:51, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes indeed. Decline in quality and higher quality in other areas added. :-) Mapmark 3 June 07
