A prize most of us could only dream of. I remember hearing this on holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. Not heard it since. Brilliant stuff.

“Thank you, JAMS” – says Steve.

Must dig out those ’31 Days in May’ promos….

What a great bit of audio. That Ron was quite a character, eh?

classic JAM Radio Two cuts on-air yesterday on the Jeremy Vine Show

That makes it sound better than it actually was.

In reality, from what I heard, it was a day of the week cut (Monday on Radio 2) and a Gloria Hunniford ID (BBC Radio 2 Gloria Hunniford) @ 1h 45m into the show. It was dreadful audio quality, too.

Yes, they’re asking listeners to vote for their favourite R2 moment ahead of the 50th birthday. It’s available to hear on the BBC iPlayer (the last half hour of Tuesday’s Jeremy Vine show) to those in the UK. gameswizard is right, the audio sounds like it was from a cassette.

The Gloria Hunniford clip appears to have been lifted from the Random Radio Jottings YouTube page…

Yes, it does seem that they used my 1985 clip of Gloria Hunniford. It was indeed taken from a poor quality cassette. If the Beeb want some better quality clips of Glo I can provide them.

Considering the extent of the BBC archives, and seemingly every bit of everything they’ve ever broadcast being
“somewhere” in that old tunnel (except certain old Dr Wh*) , its strange they have to “lift” audio from TooYube?

Regardless, the BBC is expected to meet its legal obligations in respect of “copyright intellectual property” that
may only be used with the express consent of the Copyright owner. The sound quality doesn’t come in to it.
Perhaps some of the “trendy young things” in the Production Dept need to stop playing with “sochul medja”
and go on a course from the BBC Legal dept?

Just because an internet station in my part of the world is using old edited PAMS jingles for “nostalgia” purposes
with likely no consent doesn’t mean a major broadcaster subject to broadcasting laws should behave the same way,
does it?
