The oldest recording I've found of then-UNID station playing drum'n'bass music on a loop is dated Feb 10 2023 ▶

In fact, as the playlist this recording is part of indicates, Music 4 Joy played d'n'b for its first two broadcasts, and then went into various other electronic music genres, always seemingly AI-generated.
Or were they *first*?
@SW_Radio_Listener answered me he obtained info from Media Broadcast that M4J was on air already in Nov 2022 o.O
LMAO, Music 4 Joy is on YouTube 😱
I mean, the actual creator, not just recordings 😜
Their channel has zero content yet but there are a few details out there in the channel's tags:
Country: Germany (obvs xD)
Website: media-broadcast.com (that's their provider, they use Nauen🇩🇪 site)
Join date: Jan 16 2023 (while I think their 1st broadcast was in Feb 2023, then in AM mode)
The account had appeared briefly on the chat to this M4J stream, ongoing ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTZN-TYjeuI
927 kHz on Joensuu🇫🇮 #KiwiSDR: 2-stream service, both just 8.0 kbit/s in plain old AAC 🙄 fortunately no audio decoded 😂
But look at the station names:
AIR TRICHY
NEWS(AIR TRICHY)
That's Tiruchirapalli, listed as 40kW. Also AM counterpart on 936 kHz, 100kW, mixing w/ some Chinese, but not with Iran yet.
Oddly enough, there's also Akashvani Visakhapatnam 🇮🇳 on 927 AM, which can be heard blended w/ Trichy DRM noise
13650 #Music4Joy #DRM went off abruptly, as always, at 1400:00z, but, untypical of DRM, the audio actually cut off a few seconds EARLIER than the signal itself, rather than a few seconds after (decoding delay).
Remarkable it decoded with a reasonably strong AM station on 13655 😮
Anyway, next broadcasts:
1800-1900z 13710 kHz
1830-1930z 7225
2000-2100z 9810
