Big L was the name of a short-lived broadcasting company registered by the British licensing authority Ofcom from 11 June 2002 to 10 June 2003 for a satellite radio service known as Big L. The licence stated that the station "… will provide an eclectic mix of rock and pop, both modern and classic.
Though the station targeted its audience in the United Kingdom, advertisers developed their commercials mainly to reach English speakers in the Netherlands.
To recapture a similar working environment to the days of the pirate ships (such as the original Wonderful Radio London) all the DJs lived together at the same house in Frinton-on-Sea, along with station manager Chris Vezey, a former BBC Radio 2 producer who was also programme controller at Classic FM.
Big L 1395 was featured on Channel 4 programme Get Your Act Together With Harvey Goldsmith in an episode broadcast 17 April 2007.
Presenter Harvey Goldsmith attempted to improve the fortunes of the station but met with resistance and failed to deliver on his promises.
