Liberty Radio (UCKG)[edit]
In 2000 Al Fayed sold the station to the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG);[6]
The broadcasting slot[edit]
UCKG were not allowed to change the format to religious programming, but did broadcast programmes linked to their UCKG Help Centres in the evenings. In February 2001 Ofcom issued a "Yellow Card" to Liberty Radio over religious content and giving undue prominence to its owners, the UCKG, breaching two rules of the Advertising and Sponsorship Code. Changes were made as a result.[7]
At the time there were rules preventing stations owned by religious organisations from owning digital radio licences in the UK. Therefore, Liberty could not move onto DAB, and did not get an automatic license renewal. Their broadcasting licence was readvertised, and was awarded on 12 November 2002 to Club Asia, who took over 963 and 972 MW at midnight on 3 July 2003.[8] Club Asia went into administration in August 2009[9] and was taken over by Sunrise Radio Group, itself owned by Litt Corporation,[10] who branded it "Buzz Asia",[11] later "Buzz Radio".[12]
Programming[edit]
Since the loss of the terrestrial broadcasting licence Liberty Radio has been broadcasting Christian music, and a variety of talk shows on the Internet, Sky Digital and the Eurobird satellite.
