Dreb48 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) ..........anyone remember 'meet the huggets'?!!! Yep I'm afraid I do. Kathleen Harrison and Jack ( Dixon of Dock Green) Warner. Evenin' all. Just remembered. The link that andypandy has given us shows the front covers of several issues of Radio Times. I've actually still got the World Cup edition from July 66.

Marky Baby Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Until the mid-70s and the proliferation of independent local stations the vast majority of radio listeners used AM (MF, medium wave) rather than FM (VHF). Until 1967 there was a choice of just three BBC stations: The Home Service The Light Programme The Third Programme. These subsequently became Radio 4, Radio 2 and Radio 3 respectively. Unlike Radio 4 the Home Service was regional, offering opt-outs of regional news in England with a greater diversity of programmes in the other national regions.

handypandy Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) The link that andypandy has given us shows the front covers of several issues of Radio Times. I've actually still got the World Cup edition from July 66. The link that I posted is part of the BBC Genome project. Judging by some messages I have received, I don't think everyone realises that the Radio Times covers that are displayed, are actually links themselves, where you can see the listings of all the programmes, Radio & TV. This next link shows them from the 1920's onwards: Clicky . Edited April 6, 2015 by handypandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a lot of the shows that followed F.F. were alternated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORONTONY Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 This maybe more early 1970's than the 1960's but I think the radio one schedule was as follows 7am - 9am. Tony Blackburn 9am - 11am. ???? 11am - 1 pm. Jimmy Young 1 pm - 3pm. Johnnie walker 3pm - 5pm. DLT These may not be 100% correct News from September 1967. Sheffield United sold Mick Jones to Leeds. As a 12 year old I was gutted like 80% of the rest of Sheffield! C'mon now Blades fans are nowhere close to 80% of the Sheffield population and never have been lol ---------- Post added 11-04-2015 at 16:17 ---------- I always listened to Brian Matthew's Saturday Club on a Saturday morning. And he's still on Radio 2, 55 years later. Pete Murray is still at it at 89yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the 80%, I don't think there is even that percentage of Unitedites on Shoreham Street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
