Back to April 1978. Thameside Radio 90.2 is only 6 months old
and a very young sounding Bob presents a one hour show. Tony Lloyd
reads the news. Last week was an extended broadcast with Tony doing
the second hour. Debbie is taking calls. (What happened to Debbie
the Phone Girl?) Dave from the BBC is in the studio as well as a
photographer and listener Simon Wallace.
Loads of mentions and
dedications. Many of them say that it's the the first time they
have tuned in to Thameside Radio 90.2: Here are some that had
surnames or additional information so might pop up if they're
Googled - there a many more mentions on the recording:
Downtown of Romford, Roger Scott from Epsom for his wife Linda and
children Tristan and Lucinda, Steve Tarling fron Surrey University,
Neal Oldfield of Appleton, Paul searle of Upminster for the 1st
Boys Brigade, Steve Pagnall of Greenford, Alan Cooper of Edgware,
Bernard O'Brien of Hainault, Kevin Keele, Tony and Kim Chiffey and
Stephen Cruikshank.
