7115khz. Right in the middle of the Novice band

If you're ill or off school It was the most daunting and testing time of your childhood Sesame St. News at One Followed by Crown Court so we had to sweat it out until 4:00 o'clock and play school, If you were lucky decent B&W film on BBC 2 between 2 o'clock and 4:00 o'clock

Just like the Soviet Union.

The women were more glamorous and how sexy does Selina sound?!

Tony benns worst act by a country mile. Only a "people's champion" when it suits him. I realise that now.

I gasped at 09:21 when the great Scott Muni appeared. Successful AM Top 40 DJ on several NYC stations, but most remembered as the early evening lead-in to Cousin Brucie on WABC 770. Scottso got fed up with Top 40 and was hired by WOR FM to host a then-revolutionary “progressive free-form” show on 98.7. When the owners tightened up that format after less than a year, Muni jumped to WNEW FM 102.7 where Metromedia swiped WOR FM’s lunch by building a creatively, and soon commercially-successful progressive rock NYC mainstay for well over a decade. As a former Marine and radio pro with musically-progressive tastes, Scott Muni commanded respect from his WNEW FM staff, and in turn “protected” them from the corporate commercial inclinations of Metromedia management. WNEW FM 102.7 was an amazing beacon of entertainment and musical freedom during the golden years of the rock era!

Pat Hawker was invaluable

Piccadilly Radio Tuesday 2nd April 1974, North West England's first ever soundtrack was Good Vibrations perform by the Beach Boys which it brings sunshine to the region especially Manchester

Peace is The Answer, No more war

My home.

Robin Drews as the newscaster was and still is amazing. A truly humble and brilliant woman.

I was fortunate to meet Leonard Parkin in 1982 when I first started work I worked just around the corner from the ITN studios in Wells Street W1 and also Langham Place where the radio studios were radio 1 radio 2 etc I will say one thing it is true what they all say about Leonard Parkin a true gentleman who had time for his viewers especially the youngest ones who were on school holidays RIP Mr Parkin you are missed after so many years god bless you.xx

What an appalling and cheap attempt to spin a story out of nothing!! The whole tone of the thing is preposterous; it would be comical if it wasn't such fake news. The real story: the BBC management needed to do something about Radio One's image amidst falling ratings. They brought in someone to do the job. What was he expected to do, keep the people who had been identified as the problem broadcasting?

I remember in the mid nineties when I was in my mid twenties listening to Chris Evans once on his Radio 1 breakfast show and I hated him. I also remember when Spike Milligan was on Room 101 in the late nineties I believe saying in relation to Chris Evans - “I nicest thing I can say about him is I hope he has an early death” lol.

Why where they famous? They just played records.

Of course they where sacked.Bloodly boring twats

The best D J..SCOTT

I vowed that I would never vote Labour because of this, and I never have and I never will.

So this was on C4 before the BBC

My home for 6 months.

I found that video very entertaining, listened to that station so much in the 70s,nothing like it,I love Scott Muni's office,all those gorgeous secretaries again great video

My wife and I had a music radio show on WHPC at Nassau Community College and Pete Fornatele graced us with an interview when he was “pulled” for a week or so for some BS “violation,” I’m pretty sure it was too “political. RML.

Guess what? It's back!!!!!

Radio 1 was always awful.....they just made it worse.......

BBC 2 Sunday 25 November 1984 23:35 Rally report 00:00 Closedown 00:25 Show Jumping

The killing of JFK was the beginning of the launch of the NWO. If you didn’t comply and were anti government you were a dangerous person

Great programme this of course thank you too. Bruno brookes left radio 1 the same day as steve wright in april 1995 by the way. Adrian juste left in january 1994 after the changrs started in october 1993 onwards so too alas

A truly wonderful programme which is rare today really of course too.

This is excellent of course. Thank you too.

Listening to this again in May of 2024 for the hundredth time and I'm still wondering why nobody has made a biopic of TVOP....

I surely remember Scott Muni and WNEW- FM..wow!!..

Loved every minute they were on. The greatest lineup of all time.🎶

Love this!

cable companies didn't like this and started not only scrambling their signals, but also making you pay a subscription for satellite.

Sam Brown, Super T, Mosscat, This and WBLS, 102.4. THE BEST DAYS

I'm surprised Dee could afford a cigar at that time..

Jimmy Cameron inspired Christopher Hitchens to become a journalist.

And R1 never recovered! Poor Steve Wright finally kicked out from the BBC despite huge audiences - did this have something to do with his sudden death ??????

Danny Baker/Jonothon Woss ... what they got in common

it's gone the same way as Glastonbury.... pointless bloated tosh. Same as much of our once great culture

No records were played on Laser all music was put onto cartridges like what was seen on the video and played that way . The lady interviewed was Jesse Brandon who later on worked on Londons Capital Radio 📻

The bbc need to thank Radio Caroline for their history of music, they took the idea of a pirate radio station, Caroline was a great innovation, especially to me and millions of others who listened to it all day, it was the only way to hear the most up to date music, unlike the government radio station which was still stuck in the Victorian era

WNEW had more heart than any station ever.

I thought he was going to come across a picture of RonJeremy! 😂

Didn’t do Gary Davis tbh

That baldy man comes across as even worse than his mate. Delighting in sacking people.

He'd rather sack them than let them resign!? There's something wrong him.

Bannister comes across as a t***! He knew what was best for "yoof".

at 6.50, the guy states he was trying to bring in fresh talent to Radio 1 and make it more youthful....and it just struck me: WHY? Those "Old Fogey" DJs...had audiences in the tens of millions!! WHY did THEY want Audiences of just 7 million?? If it ain't broke....!! My opinion: Bannister and his accomplice were working for commercial radio, all of which was struggling against Radio 1 and Radio 2. One could say...they did their job well.

radio rag bring it back!
