I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, last Friday NME Radio launched Radio Propaganda an Alex Zane fronted two hour advert for the Propaganda Club Nights. Now we were a little miffed to find that they had pretty much stolen our name. I know we are only a small online radio show but having been broadcasting for the last 12 months we have built up a loyal following. A quick google search for Propaganda Radio or Radio Propaganda will bring up this Blog, our Myspace, Twitter, Facebook and Soundcloud pages. I find it very hard to believe that either NME Radio or the Propaganda Club Brand didn't know that we exist.
Now we can understand why they have called it Propaganda, it is the club night who are paying for the show, but it would have been nice for NME Radio to have the common courtesy to let us know they were going to undo our hard work.
We will continue to use the Propaganda name as that's what people know us by, well until Club NME want to sponsor our show.
I would also like to point out that I like NME Radio which makes it even more annoying, we were both big fans of XFM in the early days and it was great to see that team have another go at Radio. Any station with Iain Baker, Claire Sturgess and Jon Hillcock is alright with me. By the way we have no plans to launch a magazine called NME or start a club night called Propaganda.
