Capital Radio 194 Jingles & Roger Scott

[@TheSSMusicChannel]

Happy days listening to these guys when Capital was the best station in the UK.

Roger was a brilliant DJ, and played an important role in my teenage years. His Friday night show Cruisin’ was essential listening, and I always had the microphone of my cassette recorder pressed up to the radio speaker. In the late 70s and early 80s there was a Ted and Rockabilly revival and he helped sustain that. His promotion of amazing music gave me and countless others great pleasure. Thanks Roger. Keep on Rockin’. RIP.

Roger Scott was and will always be my favourite radio DJ. Much missed. This brings back so many happy memories of listening as a teenager to Capital.

[@Anne-cl2uk]

Roger Scott was a super guy

[@maidbloke]

Some of those jingles give me goose bumps and take me straight back to my teenage bedroom. Thanks for posting!

I lived in London in 1977 and I used to listen to Roger Scott every day. I loved his show - especially “The Three O’Clock Thrill”. Wonderful deejay. Gone too soon. A legend.

[@102firefly]

Roger was just brilliant; a true broadcaster's broadcaster. Often imitated but never equalled. He made it all sound so easy which it isn't. Bless you Roger, you made my day every day!

[@andyyorath2732]

Capital 194 was a breath of fresh air after several years of 'Radios 1 & 2'. It had some of the freewheeling style of the pirate stations and the faster pace of US rock radio. Roger Scott and Kenny Everett were really the anchors of that format. Hard to believe that the station descended into the corporate inspired drivel that it broadcasts today.

[@grantgrove6800]

Ofcom and corporate greed have destoyed 'independent' radio.

Roger Scott , Monday - Friday , 3 p.m till 7 , 4 hours of pure genius . Roger was , is and will always be a giant among DJ's . Gone but never forgotten

[@rjjcms1]

I listened to his show a lot around the late end of the 70s and very early 80s. Huge fan of all things Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. It was sad to read in the papers of his passing at the age of just 39. RIP.

[@andrewdemetrius8090]

used to listen to Roger Scott the moment I got home from school - unmissable. He'd play club 12" records instead of radio edits and, like me, was a huge Elvis fan too. He championed dance and urban music of the time often playing USA imports and DJ mixes too

[@crunchypeanut5616]

Roger Scott the greatest DJ ever....and boy do I mean ever! Greatly missed and never equalled!

[@Coningsbyman]

God bless Roger I listened to you every day on capital 194 and became a mobile DJ for 12 yes thank you for your inspection

[@johnmorris2414]

I agree, but also have rate Peel , & Johnnie Walker.

[@Springamatul]

I enjoyed listening to the peoples' choice . Roger Scott was so young when he passed away.

[@Snooooooooooopy]

Used to love his Three O' Clock Thrill of course - and he kindly played Ray Charles' 'Georgia On My Mind' as a special request for my Mum and Dad's 30th Wedding Anniversary in 1980. And as a teenager, the essential Hit Line at tea-time was always so exciting! Loved Roger Scott - one of the greatest.

[@chrisrainbow2393]

yeah,i loved roger scott,three oclock thrill,hitline etc. greatly missed and a good part of radio history.

[@moodyblue1964]

Loved the guy. Springsteen's greatest fan who would always play one of his songs on his show. Oh it was magic as we'd anticipate what song he'd play. Very sadly missed.

[@robinthompson8578]

Between 1976 and 1979 I was always listening while commuting from Croydon all over SE London. Week ends too. Simply the best

[@terryandrews9841]

The coolest voice on Radio..The Hit Line Top 10 was every youngsters must listen, every weekday..Still greatly missed on the Airwaves.

[@rjjcms1]

I'd forgotten about the Hitline - this brought that back. I do remember those Our Price ads - and the never-ending Queensway furniture sale ones to Hot Chocolate's Every 1's a winner. I came here because I remembered both Roger and the weekly early evening People's Choice segment they did where they had five members of the public on the phone lines while they played five brand new singles,and the five people who got on the show would give a mark out of 10 for each song,maybe or amybe not accompanied by a quick comment. The marks would then be totted up and the song that won the most marks declared the winner and being played again. I remember the winners in 1979 including Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive and Nick Lowe's Cruel to Be Kind,as well as a scattering of songs that didn't become hits such as a Bob Seger song called Till It Shines. I listened to Capital a hell of a lot between 1975 and 1981,which was its vintage era,then sporadically as it went through a few phases,some better than others.

[@nickwilson8853]

In a parallel universe, right here, right now, Rogers there, Kenny as well, and all the capital jocks that have gone to to big studio in the sky,, playing the hits, for us all to listen to, and keeping us all entertained. He was (and in my mind still is) one of the great jocks, never hard on the ear, a true professional. Greatly missed.

[@seamuscullen1390]

rang Capitol once to ask a question got as far as saying Roger scott next thing I know I:m speaking to him lovely man

[@Peter-gv6vf]

OMG that traffic jingle! Brings it all flooding back. Remember when you could just walk into the foyer of Euston Tower and buy merch like tea shirts and mugs from the shop there?

[@alfching2499]

He used to host a great Rock n Roll show I think it was Friday teatime a really great show RIP Roger

[@deejohn1659]

Roger was a gem to listen to back then. He was greatly influenced by the American music scene. I sometimes thought that he was solely responsible for introducing Bruce Springsteen to the U.K. And how he couldn't wait for December when each night he would play Bruce's Santa Clause is Back in Town. Happy days. I miss his voice on the Radio. Johnny Walker must be one of the very last of the originals left.

[@keithwright8045]

Wow, I used to listen when Capital was great, miss Roger Scott immensely, at a Capital Radio openday I persuaded him to do me a voiceover promo for my programme on hospital radio. Never heard him say "coming up after the break 25 in a row from Bruce Springsteen on the clips though , Hope you are doing programmes up there above us Roger, shame we cant hear you down here

[@connorandrews2341]

The best voice on Radio.

[@vangecontos761]

Roger the greatest dj ever he was what got me into music and my teenage years the best🙌

[@donhas5045]

Roger was the very best

[@alfching2499]

He would have been far too good for the crap Radio today,How I hate these fucking days

[@cleoskeeper]

'Get a little extra heaven with Roger Scott from 3 to 7 '. Thanks a wonderful collection of memories .I loved listening to Capital when I was in London.

[@Weenybean.]

[@vqey2]

I’ve just been taken hard and fast to my 70s 🙂

[@barbarakirk3064]

I remember that Weetabix ad!

[@nivram0544]

[@Chimp981]

[@taffytop]

Back when Capital Radio was a proper radio station, i remember Rodger being on Radio 1 on a Saturday afternoon, is that correct or am i confused?

[@grantgrove6800]

I beleive Roger's R1 show was called the stereo sequence?

[@sueharmes9443]

[@crunchypeanut5616]

[@keithwaites9991]
