The heyday of commercial radio in the mid-'70s. Increasingly restricted in what they could broadcast, Piccadilly was one of the better ones with bits of pirate DNA squeezing through. Beacon, Trent, Victory and Capital were the others with Beacon almost losing its franchise in 1979 because it broke so many of the regulations. Victory did lose its franchise in a bitter fight.
