> It wasnt just Beat 106, there are several European stations that do this. Tempo fm in Belgium does this, The world famous KISS fm LONDON does it, Without Rock. Even z1035 does it on Weekends. There is also CLUB DANCE RADIO 89.1 in Italy, that has a Top 40-Dance format by day, and Dj sets at night. There is also (Radio Nova ERA), Cyprus Radio Deejay ect, ect.,,,,The old IDT radio in Holland did it........ Check out the list of European Dance stations that Chrles makes for us, you will find a Crap load of stations doing this same Philosiphy. The only reason I can think of for not doing this, is Advertisers.
