Name: BBC Radio 1 - Simon Mayo Breakfast Show - Top of Hour "Huhs" - 1988 by MancMart
Duration: 15 min
Description: Why I recorded these off air as a kid, I have no idea (probably because Simon Mayo was my radio hero and inspired me to follow a career in broadcasting). So here's a little Radio One nostalgia from 1988 - when Mayo had just taken over breakfast and instigated the top of hour 'huh'. Adrian John, Mark Goodier and Sybil Ruscoe can also be heard here.

Thanks very much for this great selection of Top Of The Hour "Huhs".  I used to love the 8 o'clock "Huh" before leaving the house for school every morning.  This particular Jingle is one of my favourites (from the fantastic KZZP package).  Whenever I hear this Jingle or resings (or even If I'm singing it to myself); I still always have to add my own "Huh" in the appropriate place.   Listening to this fantastic compilation of "Huh's" made me smile and laugh.  I'm glad you recorded them and then uploaded them here.

This is brilliant and reminds me of being mid teens i guess. I  wouldn’t leave the house until 8 o’clock for school so I could join in. I was always disappointed if it didn’t  happen for some reason. We should bring it back!
