Radio Oranje back on the air for one day only

To mark Liberation Day in the Netherlands (Monday 5 May), Dutch public broadcaster Radio 5 will broadcast as Radio Oranje between 0500 and 1700 UTC on 747 kHz. Radio Oranje was the Dutch station that broadcast from London during the Nazi occupation of the country.

Radio 5, which is aimed at the 50-plussers, is asking its listeners for their memories and interesting stories from 5 May 1945 to be included in the programme. Music will be played from original 78 rpm records by artists such as Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters, as well as Dutch artists popular at the time.
