Radio 10 (before : Radio 10 Gold) is a Dutch commercial radio station principally dedicated to music from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and is one of the oldest remaining commercial radio stations of the Netherlands.
On 4 April 1988, the station started broadcasting under the same name Radio 10. Radio 10 was an initiative of former VARA DJ Jeroen Soer. Commercial radio in the Netherlands was still not allowed, but they bypassed that with the so-called U-turn construction, using the possibility that commercial stations from abroad were allowed on the Dutch cable and Radio 10 passed the Amsterdam-made programs via satellite to Italy. Radio 10 was officially an Italian station of the company Rete Zero, with an FM frequency (105 FM) in Milan. This was allowed under the law, applying to satellite and cable broadcasts. Via an uplink station in Belgium by the subscriber television channel FilmNet the signal was sent to the Dutch cable networks. With this construction, there were some Italian jingles heard on the station. Disc jockeys from the very beginning have included Ferry Maat, Adam Curry, Daniël Dekker, Peter Rijsenbrij, Jeroen Soer and Roderick Veelo.
On 15 August 1990 the station was taken over by the Arcade Group and the name was changed to Radio 10 Gold. The main theme of the new station was "oldies", which formerly Radio 10 on Sunday had success. Dutch commercial radio was now permitted and Radio 10 sent in the north of the Netherlands out over the air. This was done through a so-called "residual frequency". These are frequencies that were not or not yet in use by public broadcasting. In 1994 received the Gold Radio 10 MW frequency 675 kHz. assigned. Arcade group expanded its activities in this period with the stations Concert Radio (classical) and Power FM (youth station).
During the 90's Radio 10 Gold broadcast on 675 kHz medium wave from a high powered transmitter. It could be heard in many places in the UK and the rest of Europe, particularly at night. However it had to give up the frequency to Arrow Classic Rock, which only used that frequency for a short while. Radio 10 Gold then broadcast on 1395 kHz but not for long. They then used 1008 kHz, again only for a short while, before getting the frequency of 828 kHz. This was not as powerful as 675 or 1008 kHz.
