"Dass war wirklich ausgezeichnet. Ich habe seit 1981 mehr von RNI zu wissen gewunscht." Hans, Hamburg.
"Really interesting. I listened to Nova in 1981 and remember Peter Griffin's rap song really well... Listen to Nova everybody, everybody listen to Nova." Jane, Menton.
"Vraiement chouette. Nova etait super-cool et les animateurs etaient tres sympas." Julien, Cannes.
"What a pity it didn't last. The programmes were really enjoyable and we loved to sing along to the jingles." Toby, Epsom.
"Was that Kelvin O'Shea of the AA I heard in Spring 1981?" Graham, London.  Ed - yes, he was on vacation and did a few programmes.
"Tis niet normaal, dat een van de beste radios uit Afrika m'n heer allemaal langs de Franse en Italianse Riviera op 101,5 MHz is niet meer in de lucht." Nils, Scheveningen.
"I came across your site and was thrilled, as it is exactly what I have been looking for, a missing piece in my puzzle. I worked for Radio Nova from 1982-1987 and I am compiling a history of English speaking radio on the Riviera. I have heard anecdotal info about the early days of Nova, but never came across such a detailed history and compilation of articles/photos until I found your site." Mark Dezzani, Seborga.  Ed - we were really pleased to hear from Mark, who may be able to extend the Nova story beyond Summer 1982 for us. Find him at www.carolinesouth.com
"I'm a former listener, and i'm a friend of Nadine Torcolo! I worked with her at Radio Nostalgie between 1995 and 2000. I'm pleased to see the cover of Radio News (Nadine had a copy of this cover on her desk at Radio Nostalgie!). Also pleased to listen to the Nova theme in English and in French. What a souvenir!!! In 1979, I was living in the east of Nice, near a big hill, so it was very difficult to listen to Radio Nova (signal: 2/5!!!)! But the program and the music were so nice that it was not a problem!!! I have discovered many pop albums with RNI (I was 14-15 in 1979)." Claude BAISSAC, Carros les Plans.
