Zeezenders The Offshore Radio Years volume 20 DVD rip.
THE COMMUNICATOR/NANNELL/ARUTZ 2000
  This DVD looks at three different radio ships, with much exclusive and previously unseen video material. 
 The MV Communicator was home to the hugely successful Laser 558, and then the short lived Laser Hot Hits. Following their demise, the ship moved to Portugal where it was re-fitted out and due to return as a European religious broadcaster, as well as airing Dutch and English programmes. 
 Stereo AM broadcasting was to have been the revolutionary idea from the MV Nannell. Stereo Hits 576 would have also seen a major deal with a Japanese company marketing AM stereo radio sets. The Anglo- Dutch radio on the Ross Revenge in 1989, frightened off the Nannells backers, and that was the end of the project.
 Arutz 2000 started with a derelict lightship in a Portsmouth scrapyard. After being partly fitted, the ship King David was forced to move just ahead of a planned raid by the UK authorities. Towed to a position off the Israeli coast, Arutz 2000 began broadcasting religious programmes. Heavy storms saw the radioship break her anchor and end up on the beach, and ending her short offshore career.
