What Radio Used To Sound Like - Series 1

A selection of sounds from UK Radio in the South East 15 years ago, in an era where local commercial radio could be engaging and entertaining without sounding desperate. Well, most of the time…

Stations featured, Invicta FM, Southern FM, Essex FM, Mercury FM (Tonbridge) SGR FM, Broadland 102, Classic Gold (Amber) and 105-108 Vibe FM.

As you’d expect the audio quality varies in places….

Enjoy and don’t be too embarrassed if you were there at the time. You entertained me at least.

For a detailed insight into the audio, why not read my commentary at https://whatradiousedtosoundlike.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/part-1-1999-2000/

I produce bits that go in between the tunes on the radio, and for a bit of fun I sometimes like to play about with the tunes themselves.
