<nettime> Patapoe in trouble |
Secret Press Release Amsterdam,april 1998 Tuesday April 7th at 16:38 PM, when the legendary program WATTH was being aired by Patapoe on FM 97.2, the city of Amsterdam witnessed how this station suddenly disappeared in a loud bang of noise. The transmitter and its power-feed were confiscated by the dutch radio controlling police and transported to the offices of the RDR for destruction. Patapoe was taken off the air! After 10 years of exceptional multirational unpredictable radio, the void in the Amsterdam FM-radio airwaves is choking, especially considering the abundance of new stations specialised in computer-controlled programming filled with golden greatest hits from present and past etcetera. Need we accept this loss? Surely the 120 Patapoe employees shout out the right answer: NO! Patapoe will return voluminously and surprise you with a comeback. We can use all your support, financial or otherwise, for returning on air. Contact us through e-mail <ptp@Desk.nl>. For the fans out there: Thanks for all encouraging phone-calls and fan-mail! That little doggy is wagging its tail over the Amsterdam airwaves again...Give with grace and generosity: giro 7773733 name: St. Outcast.
