Just to supplement all the excellent stuff above, some of the Lantern variants.
(I can’t believe I compiled this OMM in 2007! Were we really doing them as far back as that?!?)

And what a real INDEPENDENT local station looked like back then – and that was our scabby old blue Rover 200 parked outside.

Keen-eyed observers who haven’t seen my pics before will note the 1.44 Mb 3.5-inch floppies carefully lined up on the desk at the OB studio in the main concourse inside Barnstaple shopping centre (yes, it was in a conservatory).
– one floppy per wav file for EACH ad.

Sadly I can’t find any photos of the inside of the “Light House” main building there (old APS camera);
but the studio was a cramped affair at the back, lots of glass panelling which was covered with car stickers (remember them?) from other ILRs and overseas stations.

And the reason for those variants? John Brocks who was at YRN – Pennine IIRC.

He was a fan of the jingles so they just bought a package of cuts he liked. I mean, no-one else would have chosen the strap ‘up front, in front’ haha!
