Radio Mi Amigo International: additional programme in French, additional frequency 6030

Germany: Several changes at Radio Mi Amigo:

1) Radio Mi Amigo International usually broadcasts 0900-1800 h on 6085 kHz via Shortwave Service Kall.
I noted a second frequency 6030 kHz on the air. It is parallel to 6085 kHz, but registered with the HFCC with a different abbreviation at http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=SWS. To my knowledge, this frequency was used for special programmes both from Luxembourg and Kall.

2) Looking at https://www.radiomiamigo.international/english/news.html, I see that there is a second presenter in French after Bruno Hantson on their line up.

DJ's: Eric Coullet
Eric Coullet has been passionate about radio from an early age and has been captivated by the pop music and radio shows of legendary French Radio Luxembourg DJs such as Jean Bernard Hebey and Georges Lang since his childhood.
With the arrival of the first free FM stations in France in the early 1980s, he embarked on his own radio adventure and could be heard on several stations in the thriving FM pirate scene of Paris.

After a 10-year hiatus, he returned to Internet radio in 2002. Eric went on to produce a daily column on 80s music, movies and TV series. After that, he produced and presented a large number of themed radio shows such as: 'Classic Rock Station', 'Platinum Collector', 'Pop Rock Collection', which were broadcast on more than 120 stations.
In 2015 he launched 'Seven Eighties', a program dedicated to the pop, rock and funk sound of the 70s and 80s. Featuring exclusively English-language pop, it was an instant success in France for a still growing audience.
International Radio Mi Amigo has enjoyed an increasing interest from the French-speaking regions for some time now. In 2022, Bruno Hantson persuaded his friend Eric to also make 'Seven Eighties' for Radio Mi Amigo International, with mainly music from the 70s and 80s.

We are thrilled Eric joined us and proudly present Mi Amigo International's 2nd French-language show 'Seven Eighties', which can be heard Fridays at 2 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. [CET].

Welcome Eric Coullet!
