Radio Kaleidoscope

Having previously been involved with Swinging Radio England (SRE), Steve found his way to us through Buster.

Radio Kaleidoscope had been looking for cover stations in a bid to deflect attention away from its own name. Steve Allen suggested the name Radio Universe and provided us with jingle sets and shows to support the new station name.

Then, during Radio Kaleidoscopes multi-station broadcasts, we not only changed the transmission site at a pre-determined time, but we also changed the station name to Radio Universe. A different team of DJs were used to support Radio Universe, then at the next agreed changeover time Radio Kaleidoscope would reappear, broadcasting from yet another location.

The last note I have next to Steve Allen’s name is “Danube Radio – UN Austria”

Steve Allen’s Radio Universe Jingles from 1970 can now be found on this site.
