station enabling anyone to broadcast.
CMP Radio Logo for 2002
CMP Radio first started in
November 2002
as a station on
Live365,
with the slogan
You Pick It We Play It. After a very
successful short life, it ceased operation. This was due to Live365
introducing new changes to their service. These involved:
Every
listener having to register before listening to the
station.Listeners being forced to use the Live365 Player,
reducing system compatibility.Charging broadcasters more money
for the privilege of knowing their listener statistics.<br

In
February of

with new sophisticated automation software (known as AuDEC
Professional), brand new station imaging and full UK licensing. In
April, a date was set for the comeback -
6 June 2003.

6th June
2003, CMP Radio launched for
the second time, with the new slogan
More Variety, More of the
Time.

presenters as inactive presenters would be deleted from the
system.

Gold.
Bronze presenters could present up to 2
hours per week, 1 hour per day.Silver
presenters could present up to 4 hours per
week.Gold presenters could present as many
hours in the week as they wanted.Platinumb
presenters could play other music than Pop.DJ
ULTIMATE this was by far the best status. the presenter
did what is known as "doing dead air" for upto 59 minutes. New
presenters were initially given
bronze status.
Bronze
and Silver presenters had to book via the website. The booking
slots for the following week became available at 00:30 UK Time
every Monday morning. There tended to be a huge rush for more
popular 'primetime' slots.
