    What was the UK's first commercial (not pirate) radio station to be declared bankrupt? It's not Wonderful Radio London (WRL). Does anyone have any other suggestion?

    		It's probably one of the following - they're no longer on-air or they were never launched:

    o Airport Information Radio (covering Heathrow and Gatwick on 1584 AM)
    o East End Radio (in Glasgow)
    o Hertbeat 1521 (in Craigavon, Northern Ireland - formerly Radio 1521)
    o Goldbeat 828 (in Cookstown, Northern Ireland - formerly Townland Radio 828)
    o RWL 1368 (serving Edinburgh - formerly Radio West Lothian - on 1368 AM)
    o Northside Sound (in Londonderry, Northern Ireland)
    o Channel Travel Radio (in Kent)
