Radio KISS

Radio KISS was a commercial radio station based out of Koningstad, founded in 1973 and broadcasting from March 16 that year. It was the first authorized commercial broadcaster in the country, which spurred the closure of pirate radio stations such as Radio Roses.

History
After the third Warson government passed the legalization of private radio, a number of Brunanters began applying for private licenses. The government radio bureau set up was slow to respond and due to the regulations set forth most were denied. Andrew Wilson, a disc jockey in Belgium, was given the first license and began broadcasting on 16 March 1973.

Radio KISS began a broadcast of pop and rock hits of the period, with the first song being Elton John's 'Crocodile Rock'. KISS was careful to follow the government's radio policies closely, not playing songs that would see them fine, as censorship was prominent amongst rock songs deemed to be inappropriate.

Under the Johanna Elteman government censorship laws were further relaxed, allowing for a broader programming.
