Vlaamse Top 15

It all started in my childhood. When I was about ten or eleven I cut out record players and jingle covers and played radio in that way. A few years later my brother and I got a record player. I bought a few CD jingles and started playing radio in that way. Only then did I really get the taste for it. In my area there was a local radio station called Radio Atlantis. It was in 1992 that I plucked up courage and applied to Radio Atlantis to be allowed to play on the radio. I was allowed to practice in the chat room at the disco bar that was there. After about ten minutes the big boss of the radio station thought I was doing very well and he sent me to the radio studio to play my first program on the radio. I played on Radio Atlantis, which had to change its name to Radio Pros after a few months of playing there, until 2003. In 2004 I read an article in a magazine about ShoutCast and how you could broadcast with it. I tested it out and it worked very well. Then I got the idea to start a radio station myself under the name Radio Denderland. After a few days the first DJs signed up to play on my radio station. Radio Denderland became a success story with more than 2000 listeners every day. After a few years I changed the name Radio Denderland to Accent FM. The success continued but the name change turned out to be a bad move because after a few years a radio station suddenly appeared in the Netherlands with the name Accent FM which caused a lot of misunderstandings. As if that wasn’t bad enough, a radio station also appeared in Belgium with the name Radio Accent. Then the confusion was complete and I had had enough, so in 1997 I changed the name Accent FM to Radio 854
