Paul,

How superb! Thanks so much for posting that – what excellent audio. You've brought back a fair few memories there. I'll get some of my NW/Midlands airchecks out of the loft next time I'm in Cheshire.

Thanks again – loved it!

That was a great mix Bello. Well done! Nice to hear Cath Baxter's Severn Sound jingles. It was also interesting to note that David Arnold's Marcher package was still being used. Great news jingle they were using!

Hiya folks

Thank you for your responses…I'm glad you are enjoying the montage!

Keep the messages coming in!

Has anyone got Beacon's news intro of the time totally dry?

It was a very good package…a complete reworking of the Wiltshire Radio 1982 package and (in my own opinion) much better than the WR set. I especially like the main station theme!

I 'Think' the David Arnold package lasted until the end of 1986/early 1987 when it was replaced by Alfasound, likewise Severn Sound's Cath Baxter package lasted about another twelve months when the station changed FM frequency to 102.4.

Around the off-air montage period of late 1985…Severn Sound became a twenty-four hour station and had a couple of idents from Cath Baxter singing '24 Hours a day'. I'm not sure whether they were part of the original package or a top-up.
