3:18 New Radio 2 UAE JINGLE

Just to be clear, as it hasn’t been obvious over the past however many weeks - does Donna Summer believe love to be unkind, or not?

Stranglers <3 the late 70s def had variety

Very "big band" inspired

7:34 favourite one

Some listeners on the continent in Western Europe closest to the UK could indeed carry on listening to Radio 2 MW via 433 and 330 metres. If you trimmed the aerial trimmer screw on your car radio, you could often pick up MW stations much much further than intended i.e. I did this to my bosses car radio and we got Manx Radio in much of North West England quite clearly even though they used directional antennas with 10kW transmitted to the North and West of the Isle Of Man and 10kW transmitted to the South and East of the Isle Of Man from a 20kW transmitter at Foxdale.

Up until now. By a spur of a moment. I never knew Jimmy Young was a football fan full stop (Never mind an Arsenal fan!) Blow me! I only copped him watching that forgotten 60s sports programme called 'QUIZ BALL!'... On the BBC iPlayer.

I was watching Kenny Everett on ITV, and ir's itneresting how Adrian sounds a bit like the legend.

it;s six o clock on Radioa 1 and 2, probably one of the most important announcements on the radio in the seventies. The Top 20 was so big then, even people woud switch off their televisions to listen to the show.

Just love this, your feet just have to move

Thanks for sharing the music mate, it’s great that people kept their recordings of the shows …. No one today can recreate the sound back then

Considering you recorded this on a C120 it’s come out great … I used to use the old cheap Woolworths ones … what were they called Winfield? … the C120s had a purple label and they used to stick but not being one to throw away my hard earned recordings I would still pull out the tape untangle the double loop back and the stick the Bic biro in and carefully wind it all back in keeping a little back pressure with my other hand … 😂😂

Ahhh bliss so nice to hear how DJs used to speak back in the day…. Not that whiny modulated up and down way of speaking that came out in the 90s and for some reason kids of today think that’s how our jocks used to speak in the 70s

This was on Friday, 22 December 1978

1970 - 2000 good music.. 80's all the way tho....

And now there's Rylan 😮

Which Radio 2 show had the theme tune 'The Street Where You Live' from My Fair Lady? Used to be on a Sunday.

Thank You, for taking me 'back in time', Music of that period was soo much better than some of the stuff played nowadays..... I'm sure you'd agree...??? (NOW...... Can i have my hair back! ..?)

Day i was born

I believe Pete Murray has recently celebrated his 98th birthday.

Such a shame the news is cut 😾

Town Talk by Ken Woodman & his Piccadilly Brass was JY's theme tune.

All expenses spared on the production values, I see.

My work patterns in the 70s and 80s allowed me to listen to Radio 2 for its variety of music and friendly presenters. These made the Radio 2 the most popular station for decades, Ken Bruce continued this legacy that has been lost. Radio 2 often had guest presenters like Brian Hayes, Derek Jameson, Judith Chambers and Gloria Hunniford to supplement Brian Mathews, Desmond Carrington to provide great conversation and knowledge of music from the 50s to 90s. Just why was this special station allowed to sink without trace, save for Johnnie Walker and Tony Blackburn.

Can I go back there please?

Anything from October 1979 with David Rodigan featuring the Royal Rasses?

Travel news on the cheap at the end this clip, when he rushes it within the build up news music.

Quality was 12 but loved the music 😊

When radio was at its best. Although Boom Radio is aimed at older listeners, it's brought back the spirit of great radio with some former Capital Radio DJs from this era.

Was a waiter during the summer season Torquay late 70s , loved listening to BBC radio 2 whilst working during the breakfast hours in the hotel.

Remember walking home from my local night club early hours of 1 jan 79, it started snowing we were still having blizzards early April.

I couldn’t remember the individual programme themes, remembers the generic station branding themes by David Lowe.

Radio 2 jingles were way better during the 70's & 80s unlike the sh1te they've gone with in the last couple of years!

Everysong that's been played in this brilliant radio show i brought, i sold most of my record collection a couple of years ago, its great to hear these brilliant songs again, by the brilliant DJ Tom Browne.

I can still remember listening every Sunday on my transistor radio. And it was exactly this month that I started doing that at age 9. Grateful to have been young then and not now! I always found Hot Chocolate boring but this is actually a good song.

I didn't know the charts were available on FM on Radio 1. I thought it wasn't until 1988 at the earliest.

When radio was good. Not like the rubbish of today.

Good radio station back then not now

They all sound like Bread.

That "1979!" jingle was updated for 1980 but that variant didn't seem to get much use.

I recall the Top 3 remaining unchanged for several weeks. A most underrated Hot Chocolate track featured here. 👍🏻 But Tom, suggesting Costello isn’t “the real Elvis” - how could you! 😩

I can always remember in the 1970's my mum listening to Gerald Harpers 'Sunday Affair' whilst cooking Sunday dinner some of these jingles take me back to those times

I lived in Hertfordshire and listened to Capital when it first started right through to mid 80s.It was a great station then. The best DJs. The most outstanding recognisable jingles going. Great times.

"Morning all. That was - hold on a mo. It wasn't hold on a mo, although he does feature rather regularly on this programme. That was Frank Sinatra doing it his way and taking us on to very nearly 10 past 11 by soooooo doing. Anyway. That's him gone for today but he'll be back. Talking of which, here he is, your friend and mine, Tony Deangelis. Til then, it's J.Y. saying - by for now.". (Not that I ever listened to it you understand).

5:08 bruce murray we're all alone

anyone remember the "Moment of Terror" just before the midnight news?

I can remember Pete Murray later on for one thing in his career, telling viewers watching Breakfast Time that voting Labour was a vote for communism.

The very smooth voice of Tom Browne. Unforgettable

The great Alan Moorhouse
