As from coming January 1st 2005 ID&T will change their name to SLAM FM. This has to do with a new top40 dance format The marketshare of ID&T radio is too low (0,4%) to get in commercially done. The new format should change this with more top40 dance. In june 2003 id&t radio received a restricted FM license. In the case of id&t radio it means they must play special very recent music and can only play on average one chartsingle per hour. However id&t radio found a trick; every chartsingle has been edited (id&t fm edit) so its not the original single anymore. As you might noticed a lot of shows already stopped, like True House Music and Q-dance. Fortunately A State of Trance will remain but quite likely at another timeslot.

Could this be true ???
It can be a good reason why all the id-t show stopped last few months .....

EDIT : This rumor must be true ... Just check this page http://dev.slamfm.nl/

They played too many "commercial" tracks. They had a permission for only 1 each hour I believe. And ID&T Radio doesn't get a good amount of listeners in Holland then other commercial radiostations. So they change things around to get more listeners.

I hope it's not true, it'll be weird hearing the ID&T voice guy say Slam FM...

Huh? I don't get it? First I hear that ID&T would change their entire radioconcept.....with letting rock and alternative appear in their programming after the urban vibe, while they where 'The Number One Dance Station'.

And now they're changing their name back to Slam....
They just can't deside...I guess...

It hasn't been confirmed (yet) though, would be rather weird if this suddenly happened at 1-1-2005, without any publicity in advance.

Remember DJ Tiesto Live @ Sensation 01-07-00 (Slam FM)

Same station, same name.

Not a big deal. Rather, I like the old name "Slam FM"
