Wiltshire Radio - Day 1

Some off-air recordings of Wiltshire Radio including a pre-launch test transmissions and excerpts from day 1: October 12 1982.

I like how the off air tone kicks in straight away after the Wiltshire Radio theme ends.

Wow this is a blast from the past! I was just 13 at the time but was a big fan of the station.

I used to love sandy martin disco trekking on Friday nights. such an awesome show with remixes and megamixes and funky grooves. 👌

I loved it in those days despite the adverts. GWR was good too. I have a collection of tapes of a series called The Masked D.J. !!

This is a great posting. Do you have any Dave Barrett GWR phone ins? I have a vast archive of these.

[@wrongsideof40]

No, unfortunately not. Sorry...

Where's the main theme music without chatter over the top.? I do have the record . But wish to record it from here as the volume is higher and I don't have either of my record players working.

[@oldskoolfool141]

Hi Melissa, would you consider selling your record? (old homesick Swindonian lol) I'd be happy to record it for you

[@melissanewton14]

[@melissanewton14]

By the way . Using my old name to tease you.
