BBC Radio 2 - 330m/909 kHz, 433m/693 kHz Medium Wave
The 1980s were Radio 2's golden days, making TV look like the awkward relative you'd dodge at gatherings. Terry Wogan's wit, Jimmy Young's chat, Gloria Hunniford's sparkle, Desmond Carrington's oldies, and David Jacobs' class made it the ultimate party - great music, fab company and no stolen wine!
HTV Colour Production 1976
1976 - a year when the West of England was baking, the Welsh valleys were shimmering and HTV was proudly beaming into living rooms with its signature blend of English, Welsh and the occasional bit of static - perfect for viewers who liked their programmes bilingual and their signals unpredictable!
ITV Autumn 81
Autumn 1981 on ITV was a bumper crop of telly gold - serving up everything from Worzel Gummidge to The Wild Geese, all wrapped in a cloud of Benson & Hedges and Harmony hairspray.
Border Television Colour Production
Border Television. Proof that even in 1980 you could make great TV with Derek Batey, two cameras and enough change to buy a pint.
ITV 76
Why face today’s gloomy yellow weather warnings when you could bask in the blazing glory of ITV’s scorching Summer of 1976? Flared trousers optional.
