The Crew and DJs of Radio Mi Amigo and the LV18 would like to wish all of our visitors and listeners a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

This Christmas Eve marks the second anniversary of Radio Mi Amigo becoming a 24hr station and a few will remember being in a cold studio back then! It is a testament to the professionalism of everyone who keeps Radio Mi Amigo ticking, whether pre-recorded or live, that the station continues to sound vibrant and fresh.

One fantastic milestone in 2025 was our Ofcom licence. This took over six months to obtain but had been an idea for a decade or longer. Another positive in 2025, apart from the fantastic music, was the continuing project to return the fire-damaged sections of the ship to a usable space. It is hoped to conclude this during 2026. Peter Kay is the mainstay of that restoration project and anyone who’s been to the ship for live events or visits will have met him.

So, onwards into 2026!

The plan is to hold two live broadcast weekends during 2026. The dates are being finalised and we hope to let everyone know shortly.

Thanks Everyone

Tony, Heather, Shiraz & Peter

Apologies for issues earlier today with our Internet stream.
All is back to whatever passes for normal on board the LV18.
Now sit back and prepare to be spooked by our Fang-tastic DJs through the night
